Beautiful journal. Lovingly produced and edited. Treat to have had two poems in the last issue.

Although no news in USA seem interested in reporting it, Russia bombed Odesa again today: multiple casualties, including children, scores of wounded and dead.

The ballistic missile got into a location Odesans like to call Harry Potter’s Castle. Putin is a Voldemort? You tell me.

Opening this is both skin-tingling and a tad scary. It’s a bit like cracking open the cover of your own freshly published book, except that, here, you’re introducing readers to the words of someone else. Aimé Césaire, as if so happens.
Thanks to my loving spirits, & to Penguin.

Today of all days, remembering and being grateful for all the blessings I have in life.

Hello there, I wrote a nonfiction book about masculinity, sexuality and the ways men relate to each other.

It tells the story of the interconnected lives and works of Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, Carson McCullers and John Cheever. It’s out in July!

What was this Roman dodecahedron used for? Experts have no clue, but surely poets have some ideas?

Is it an unimaginative sorting puzzle?
