A Season in Hell with Rimbaud was awarded the 2024 Nancy Dasher Book Award yesterday in Columbus, Ohio. This picture was taken today in my living room 🤣🤣. So happy to add this memory to my OhioMichigan journey. @boaeditions

"They rush past the periphery / in sunlight. What was that, / a friend asks, as if briefly / my torso had begun to slip / from my legs..." From "A Scurry" by @ASU English alum @DustinKPearson. Read the poem @WaxwingMag: ow.ly/pPqO50XpBUG #ASUHumanities

I have two poems in the new Waxwing. I so much love the art by Dora Ilce. I've included screens of one poem and of the issue art, but here's a link to the full issue: waxwingmag.org/index.php#top
A screen of Dora Ilce's piece entitled At the Party. It shows a fantastical animal creature in a bathroom sitting on a toilet reading a red book with a bottle of wine and a glass of wine.
