Cannot wait for this!

I don’t want a president anymore. I want a peace architect.

ECL prof Gabrielle Calvocoressi uses poetry as a portal. Through poetry, they explore experiences w/loss, growth, identity & the joys of life. Calvocoressi spent last year as a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard working on their latest book of poetry, which is “about how we keep going.”

In this volume from Green Linden Press, I am encountering many familiar voices (@ColeHenri, D. A. Powell, Mark Wunderlich, Randall Mann, G. Calvocoressi, Jericho Brown, Richie Hofmann, Derrick Austin) and making the acquaintance with many new ones.

I love this poem by the incredible genius Jericho Brown! One of the poems part of the new anthology You Are Here! newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Happy Winter Solstice, w/fond memories of G. Calvocoressi & The Kenyon crew, where I 1st received this Jennifer Chang poem:

What does it even mean to write a poem?
It means today
I'm correcting my mistakes.
It means I don't want to be lonely.

EVERY GIRL WILL ASK YOU TO DANCE AND THE BOYS / WON'T KILL YOU FOR IT, a spell for the queerest joy I know by the impeccable G. Calvocoressi beautifully described in essaying @ link below below below :)

Today’s reading. Containing multitudes. Doing my own work for a moment.

Thinking a lot about G. Calvocoressi's 'At Last the New Arriving,' a poem that speaks to intense joys and struggles. It is an incredible poem and I hope I've done an adequate job introducing its wealth of emotion: encouragement.ghost.io/calvocoressi-a…

Can anyone recommend a good mover? From CA to NC? Got some family moving and I’m out of practice and don’t know a mover to recommend.

I'd teach only women authors with a heavy dose of people of color. Short fiction by Gish Jen, G. Calvocoressi poetry, Chanel Miller's memoir 'Know My Name,' anything by Toni Morrison, Gloria Anzaldua Louise Erdrich & Anna Deveare Smith's verbatim theater, esp Twilight: LA

Today I was asked if I wanted the Senior Discount. Reader, I did.

I know you are all sick of these lists, but hey: West is on Library Journal's Best Poetry of 2023 list, and by god I have to sell this book to pay back all the expensive expensive printing costs for my poor press, so thank you, LJ! libraryjournal.com/story/best-poe…

I really didn’t think I was going to make it to AWP this year, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to give this speech when they asked me to do it. Y’all pray for me!
