The Reason for the Traffic Jam

A lit candle
in the wound
of a bull. This
is all we know
at this time.

No cover letter. No bio. Just an attached 100+ line poem that they're submitting to a magazine printed on postcards...

For whatever reason, most of my book design work is in prose, so I'm really enjoying working on this 500 page collected poems.

Amsterdam Review @amsterdamreview.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

"The capital of capital / is a city impossible to besiege. It moves, / after all, all the barons and pirates..." Two poems by 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐙𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐭 @janezwart.bsky.social in Amsterdam Review www.amsterdamreview.org/two-by-jane-zwart.html #poetry #poetrycommunity

Market Forces
When there was less, it was easier to tell
a story about why there wasn’t enough.
Inside the lion’s emptiness, the zebra’s;
inside the zebra’s, the field’s; inside that,
the sky’s. In the age of sieges, you could
draw a circle around a city and, just like that,
boost the cost of flour. And doors’ futures.

In the age of abstractions, a market force
can not be demoed in dominoes. Instead
the tongues of our sneakers tell tales.
In all of them, the capital of capital
is a city impossible to besiege. It moves,
after all, all the barons and pirates
setting up shop over and over, halfway
between a zeitgeist and the latest fad.

I keep going for walks and listening to this album and that can’t be healthy but fuck it’s so incredible and heartbreaking and captures so much of what I fear.

Student emailed me to promise they didn’t use AI to write their assignment but only used co-pilot to put in MLA format. They say they’re encouraged to use it in their professional capacity… People are using AI for the easiest, simplest things without a thought.

My mind and body are exhausted. They've been exhausted for years. My baseline high anxiety and stress coupled with years of near constant worrying about my wife's health. I give myself a lot of shit for not doing more. Not achieving more. I need to be OK with doing my best given the circumstances.

The cookie tastes like waffles. The cream tastes fried at first but then more like chicken. There’s even a little heat afterward. This somehow works. Science is sometimes still amazing.

@janezwart.bsky.social gives us this deeply moving poem about connection, disconnection, and loss in Issue 7 with "On my 49th birthday, my dad calls me a fledging." www.asteralesjournal.com/2-7-zwart-de...

because in my version of the past, impossible things: trains pulls up to porches every time we set suitcases down.

Curving train tracks intersecting over a blurred backgroun of foliage and street.

The one time I still look for Paisley is when I come home from visiting my wife in the hospital. I’m always so distraught and lost, and I’d immediately pick up and squeeze my little cat for comfort.

BTAS was the best screen adaptation of Batman ever and the best Batman movie ever was Mask of The Phantasm.

Not off to a great start with Robin Hood 2018 (bless their hearts for being so certain of a hit they set up a sequel), but it can only get better from here.

It's unfair that as a cover designer it's not enough to have ideas for covers, you have to actually make them too.

Just sharing some poems from a MS of ekphrastic prose poems written after old animated shorts from Poland. Any presses want to take a chance on this book? These appeared in @hungermtn.bsky.social , @maudlinhouse.bsky.social, @pitheadchapel.bsky.social, and @bulbregion.bsky.social.

Being a freelancer means you have unpaid invoices totaling $9k and you've asked these places multiple times and they keep promising they're working on it. I completed one of these jobs in June 2025. And 4 of them in October 2025...

For whatever reason, this Friday night through Monday, the wife and I are going to try to watch 7 Robin Hood adaptations: Errol Flynn, Daffy Duck, a fox, Kevin Costner, Cary Elwes, Russell Crowe, and Taron Egerton.
