BPJ is the journal I’ve most looked forward to receiving in the mail for years—it means more to me than I can really say on Twitter—and I’m so honored and delighted to be included. Thank you, thank you to the truly incredible editorial team!
Our latest issue is out & it’s brimming with gorgeous poems! If you’re not a subscriber grab a copy here:bpj.org/product/vol-72-no-1. This issue includes powerful work by Craig Beaven, Janan Alexandra, CD Eskilson, Julia McDaniel, Ibe Liebenberg, Jason Crawford, and many more.

Last year I received one of the most intimidating and meaningful invitations of my life, to contribute an essay to this @WestBranchMag retrospective on Brigit Pegeen Kelly’s SONG. westbranch.blogs.bucknell.ed…

I’m sorry, but I fucking hate summer. I mean I like summer for a little bit but then I’m like just give me the cold and dead trees and then the snow. Fuck summer. If your name is Summer I’m not mad at you.

This past winter, I was invited to read a poem at @UMich President Santa Ono's inauguration and given the impression that I could determine the poem's content. I pitched a poem about my single mother returning to college in her 40s as a non-traditional student. 🧵
So moved to be included in this Poetry We Admire ❤️ and delighted to discover some great new-to-me poems. Thank you @ALampNamedBen (and @BPJTweets)

Thank you @NarrativeMag editors for including this sprawling poem about bats and bodies. And thank you @notsumatra for helping me figure out this poem back in 2020! ❤️
To hibernate, then, is only a way
of delaying need, the need for need. The body going on with its fits
of being. Interrupting.

My thanks to @nickripatrazone and the rest of @Image_Journal. I am so, so grateful to have found a home for this essay with you all. In this piece, I consider the question of God’s calling and the calling of literature (calls to submissions, calls to readers)

Absolutely stoked to read this issue of Image including my brilliant friend @HereAndNow44

there were a few light bulbs in my house that went out over the summer. inconsequential enough to live with -- bulbs in room with other lights, one in a small hallway. Today, with the looming early darkness, I changed all of them, and one that had been flickering a bit.
This poem was my first ever acceptance and I couldn’t dream of a better home. bpj.org/works/v72n1p017-maki…
My last read of the summer was @clarebeams We Show What We Have Learned, and I’m still getting over it.

I’m going to miss this desk when I move, but the cards are going with me ✨❤️
@juliajwrites #Deskie: "I've started hanging up notes from loved ones & fellow poets, & broadsides of poems. It reminds me that most times, however solitary the moment may seem, to sit down to write is to resume a conversation with beloveds." Read on: narrativemagazine.com/deskie…
Really honored to be a finalist this year - especially for a 10 page poem about Sleeping Beauty, narrative control, and (un)motherhoods that I wasn’t sure would ever find a home. Can’t wait to read the winners’ and fellow finalists’ poems in the fall ❤️
The full list of winners, honorable mentions, finalists, and semi-finalists for the Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry can be found on our website. artsandsciences.utulsa.edu/n…
Many thanks to the @NarrativeMag staff and editors for including my poem! This one has come a long way with me ❤️
We were given simple instruction:
Move quietly. Keep still. Eagles nest only once. But
a summer storm, too early, shook through

My toxic trait: Hmm, let me see if this food that normally hurts my stomach hurts my stomach TODAY.

Minor and personal but: intellectually I am unsurprised, mentally knew this was coming, have been writing about it for years, understand Roe has been insufficient for millions, etc etc. And yet: my teeth have been chattering uncontrollably for an hour. Bodies/minds are so weird.
