Today is pub day for Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! However much writing can be a solitary act, putting a book out definitely isn’t. Thanks to Stillhouse Press and all of Tell Me Yours’ many champions.

My first book is out now. I hope you like it.

@realDonaldTrump I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!! 2.14k ReTruths 8.64k Likes May 26, 2025, 8:27 AM

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value.

There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

Read two powerful pieces by Lindsay D'Andrea in our 2025 NaPoMo Issue:

Ploughshares Spring 2025 issue table of contents

…SO Honored that I’ve actually been having nightmares about seeing my name in this kind of table of contents.
But seriously, go get the issue! Not to read my poem but to read the whole thing—it is an amazing collection!

The spring 2025 issue of Ploughshares propped on a windowsill surrounded by plants, a pinecone, and a seashell.

✨Dream pub since 2004✨In high school I used to spend hours in Borders (RIP) reading issues of Ploughshares, trying to understand how one might accomplish the caliber of poetry on display in each issue. It’s still my favorite pub, so I am beyond honored to have a poem in the Spring 2025 issue!

So excited to read the whole thing!

Tim Seibles is one of my favorite poets working today. Loving this poem in The Offing (which is killing it lately with the work it has been featuring…probably just a regular thing, really).

Ah, yes…the customary post-AWP wave of rejections.

The moral of the story is that poetry takes time, in one way at or another. I have so many more in me that haven’t finished “processing.” Sometimes they arrive sooner and need more care, sometimes they arrive late, fat and healthy from their emergence. This is what I love about it.

On the other hand, I wrote “Milk” last fall after waking up early itching to write. It just sprung from me fully formed like god from a kneecap. I adjusted the ending and that’s it. It saw just 1 rejection. But “Milk” is based on an accident I witnessed in 2016 that I’ve been processing ever since.

I started drafting “Subsistence” in 2018, and it took quite some time to get right. Over the years it garnered 16 rejections (5 encouraged) and went through countless drafts. I’m very proud of this version and happy to see it among such awesome company.

I just received the 2025 spring issue of @northamerreview.bsky.social and I am loving the large format layout! I have two poems in here that were selected as James Hearst Poetry Prize finalists. Here is a little bit about their (opposite) histories.

An unabashed testament to the importance of embracing the messiness at the core of any story, a process which drives our humanity. 👏 @geetha-iyer.bsky.social 👏👏

As a poet who is pushed to view AI as essential to my capitalist career, I feel urgently close to Iyer’s line of questioning in this wonderful/horrifying piece up now at The Offing.

In awe of this poem by @emmabolden.bsky.social in the Spring 2025 issue of Potomac Review.

I’ll be waiting for the piece! The way Chad handles ethics questions is even more unsettling than its inability to accurately account for human appendages.

Yeah I mean…how do you beat the OG? And the best take ever of the OG on top of it.

That’s kind, thank you. Congrats on being selected for “Get the Word Out!”

Agree. Part of me wishes it was less predictable. I was pulling for The Kid from the Giving Tree (but not for long after the first round exit).

I’m always disappointed when I walk into a used bookstore and browse the poetry section only to find it stocked with mostly white men. These are poets I read and respect…but where are the women? Teach. More. Female. Poets. And remember there is more to the story than Sylvia Plath and Mary Oliver.
