Scored one of the best deals at a library sale a couple weeks ago. This is one of the BEST references for any poet or writer. The features in this thing are amazing. $4 my dudes. Mint condition. I flipped out.

One of my favorites by one of my favorites. I was thinking of Stafford and this poem when I wrote “Driving Into the Morning”.

So thankful to read new poems from my debut collection at my alma mater, @berrycollege.bsky.social last week! It’s always a good day to be back on campus.

@charlottedonlon.bsky.social hosted me and 15 of her friends for a delicious meal (with the famous Breakup Cookies!) and a reading from my new book. The conversations and connections with her Birmingham folks are such gifts! Thank you for being a champion of the arts and community, Charlotte! 🧡

I gave a reading last night at the always-wonderful @hubcitypress.bsky.social bookstore in downtown Spartanburg, SC. So. Much. Fun. One of the best parts was when Zora, the resident feline bookstore associate, got up in my lap during the reading to get a better look at some of my line breaks.

Reading Robert Bly’s numinous anthology The Winged Energy of Delight (an inscribed copy in which he drew a rabbit!) as medicine for the avalanche of white house sewage today. Here’s a drop of Antonio Machado’s Nieves Canciones … #poetry #bly #machado #loneliness

I’m reading the great Irish poet Michael Longley who died last week. And this poem brought me up short today, just a couple days after Holocaust Remembrance Day. #holocaust #poetry
