Seth Wieck @sethwieck.bsky.social · 22/02/2025The latest issue of Dappled Things has a painting by Emily Pastor that is very striking. I had a slow day at work, so I tried to do what she did with mixed results. You can get a copy of magazine for only $10 that comes with several of her other paintings (and one of my stories). 010

Seth Wieck @sethwieck.bsky.social · 11/02/2025I interviewed Matt Miller about his book “Leaves of Healing: A Year in the Garden” out now from @bellepointpress.bsky.social.

Reposted by Seth WieckSeth T. Hahne @sethhahne.bsky.social · 09/01/2025My top two pieces of advice for running a successful, invigourating bookclub are: 1) never have a question about whether people liked the book. Honestly, who cares if you liked a book? Super uninteresting question that absolutely evolves into discussion of tastes rather than critique of book. 1101
Seth Wieck @sethwieck.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I sent the final manuscript for Call Out Coyote into Wiseblood Books on Sunday night, the twelfth day of Christmas.

Seth Wieck @sethwieck.bsky.social · 21/12/2024These little prose series one offs by @bellepointpress.bsky.social are a great way to win over readers.

Seth Wieck @sethwieck.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Reading a collection of poetry can sometimes feel like looking at a photo album of people you don’t know. There’s no initial reason for you to look at them, but if the photos are composed well enough, the photos might still hold your interest. Oh and have supermodels. 040
