Thanks to @PsalteryLyre for the gift of bringing this poem into the world... it's the very first one I wrote in my Catherine series and it feels special to have found it a home in a journal I've always admired.

Hey Houston! I'll be there this Friday reading in the @Gulf_Coast Reading Series. Come check out me, @kt_herr, @kativanovwrites, and @WeilJacob!
Ty @foglifterpress for believing in this poem, which I wrote for years in my head before I ever wrote down a line. & then wrote in one furious sitting. Mary is a queer icon & poetic ancestor & I hope she'll forgive the presumption of "palinode" 💜✨🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ happy pride ya'll
I'm safe. Family's safe. House is intact. Street/neighborhood is pretty wrecked & we have no power. V grateful we are able to stay at a hotel with the kiddo tonight. Hope all my Houston loves are OK 💓
🥰💜✨
🔥 from @kt_herr!
"In the dream I have a dog who fakes his own death on YouTube… I start making the talkshow rounds. Of course I try telling them: Ichabod is alive! I just gave him a treat! They all laugh like two hundred laugh tracks turned up at once."

I never wade into twitter kerfuffles but as a huge fan of LYB & a (v grateful) attendee of one of their computational poetics seminars I'm feeling sad that there's a cloud over their success today, & also sad to see how many ppl obv don't yet know their work. Anyway here's this:
We're glad everyone's so interested in Lillian-Yvonne Bertram's forthcoming chapbook, A Black Story May Contain Sensitive Content (Feb 2024). To make it easy for you to read it, you may preorder it (hardcopy $14 shipped in US; pdf only $5) here now: thediagram.com/merch/
What's the plan @UHpres @UHouston @uhoustonclass??? We were promised fair GTF wages 10 years ago. Adjuncts have not had a raise in 30. We've been asking for fair pay since November. We've been demonstrating on campus for 7 days. #uhwhatstheplan #uhfairpay
It pains me that this is necessary after the many months we've already spent advocating, but... week two, here we come! Please sign, share & follow!
👋👋 Guess who’s back? Back again. Tell a friend (or like 10). See below ⤵️ (1/2)
ALT Posted reading “ATTENTION: We are now in Week 2 of demonstrations. Find out why” with arrow indicating to move to next slide.
ALT Poster reading “why are we demonstrating? U H admin are actively working on next year’s finances. They claim to be re-evaluating the allocation of funds for adjunct and student pay, but have shown us no plan.”
ALT Poster has same header as previous slide, continues with “we are calling on U H admin to provide their proposal for a raise for English department instructors. So join us in Week 2 as we ask U H leadership” then yellow arrow indicating continuation to second tweet with next three slides.
Blessed Eid to our Muslim community members, many of whom have joined us on campus and behind the scenes this week, even while observing Ramadan. Teachers shouldn't need to demonstrate in the heat with no food or water to get paid a living wage! #uhfairpay #fairpayuh
Looks like folks are paying attention to what @UHEnglAdvocacy has been up to. Every instructor at a Tier 1 institution should be paid a living wage! Sign the petition to support our fight for fair pay! ✨📣
Adjunct lecturers and graduate student instructors at University of Houston's English Department demand fair pay after 30 years without a raise. They say salaries haven't kept up with inflation, leaving some with less than $20,000 a year. houstonpublicmedia.org/artic…
🥳 Let's goooooo! Sign to support fair wages for graduate students and adjuncts at UH!!
Thank you all for your amazing support! We have received 1,000 signatures in just 4 days! Let's keep going - like and share to your friends so @UHouston knows how our community supports #uhfairpay

UPDATE: We're back y'all! Come join us on the Cullen Lawn. We'll be there until 4 pm, advocating for fair pay for adjuncts and grad students. If you haven't already, click the link in the bio to find out more information and sign the petition. #uhfairpay
