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.

Of course! I bet I’ve listened to her read it 50 times. No joke. “Strings of beads in their green bowl gleamed.” Mmm. 😍

Hi! Yes, lovely to be connected here. And Pádraig was such a delight in-person, yes. Warm, funny, generous, urgent, and inviting. What a gem of a human and champion for poetry.

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.

David, I really love this poem. As a sometimes noticer — if not always admirer—of little buzzy things, this is a really wonderful piece. Thank you! Glad to start to get to know your work.

My word she’s amazing. Do you know her poem “Moon”? Her selected works is one of the most treasured and handsome books on my shelves.

@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! 🧡

New post. “On the Breath beneath the Frozen Surface of the Lake: and the quick and angry tentacles of fear, lashing out.” open.substack.com/pub/paulajla...

Great post, thanks! I felt so much resonance with the special writing place that felt lifeless, the mix of feelings in response to the angry man and his road rage. Glad to be connected here and find your writing. Cheers.

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

Absolutely gutting. Thanks for taking a minute with it.

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
