Happy release day to Sarah Josephine Pennington's WHERE THE BLUEGRASS GROWS, JUNE 1916. In addition to Sarah's words, some of the poems include lines or images sourced from a vintage Kentucky newspaper. #appalachian #southeasternkentucky #kentucky #poetry #appalachianpoetry #handbound #chapbook

Feeling rough today, so I'm doing some reading. Still Life With Bones should absolutely be on your tbr list. Hagerty explores the aftermath of governments and forces that use disappearance of citizens as a means of control. #readingrecommendation #reading

I just reread Joy Priest's Horsepower. Full of poems as strong as the horses that race past Longview at Churchill Downs--poems of survival, poems of beauty, poems rooted in place and family and life. #apoemaday #poetry

Blood Dazzler might be the most arresting collection I've read. Smith delves into the destruction of Hurricane Katrina with an unflinching eye, capturing the humanity of the survivors, the city, and those we lost. My only complaint is that I didn't read it sooner. #poetry #blooddazzler

I fell off of posting my poem a day hard. I also might have lost track of reading, but I've caught up (and probably gained ground). I'm going to share some collections I've read recently. #apoemaday

Tonight! I've been awful at posting, but I'm still here, and still writing. Come join me for an evening of writing. I'll bring a prompt and you bring yourself and your current project (or start something new). #writing #louisville #kentuckywriter

Hen. 2025. Hand built ceramic bowl. Mr. Rooster seemed to approve of her, but declined to be in the photos.

William Carlos Williams, "The Red Wheel Barrow" #poetry #poem #apoemaday If you're invested in rooster watch, animal control came by, but Mr. Rooster was too savvy to be caught. He has returned and was full of bawks for Crystal, who he doesn't believe has any right to go into our garage.

Today we read from Diane Di Prima's Revolutionary Letters. We remember the stakes really are ourselves. We remember that we are endless, always one, never separate. Get going, join hands, see to business. #poem #poetry #apoemaday #dianediprima

From "Roosters" by Elizabeth Bishop Full text at www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48289/... Featuring the neighborhood rooster who has taken up roost in our lean to. He's bound for the pound as soon as it stops raining as no one seems to know where he came from. #poem #poetry #apoemaday #roosters

On Friday we said goodbye to my father. He was a lot of things --a veteran, a union man, and about the most mule headed person to ever walk this Earth. If there's an afterlife, he's busy haunting Mitch McConnell and all the warmongers in Washington. #poem #poetry #apoemaday

You do not need to stop to reassess your purpose or intention to write. This is creative writing. It's like having high functioning anxiety except you're writing it down and calling it a book. Give in to the spiral.

"Untitled" by James Baldwin. My heart has felt heavy these past days watching the devastating flooding in Eastern Kentucky. It's even heavier watching the second thousand year flood in just a few years. #poem #poetry #apoemaday

Let's read a second Hettie Jones poem today. I missed a day earlier this week, so if you've been reading along since January 1st, you're one poem shy of a poem a day. (Besides, it's always best to read 2 poems by a Beat woman for every 1 poem by a Beat man.) "Hard Drive" #apoemaday #poem #poetry
