You don’t need to sound like anyone else. Be uniquely you. If it moves YOU it will move someone else.

Pup! Check out our journal of gay and queer poetry, Assaracus! Jack is in Issue 26. We’ll open for submissions next month, but I encourage you to check out issues 26 and 27. www.siblingrivalrypress.com

Really beautiful. As a book publisher I’d love a use something like this (not this but like it - no copyright infringement! for cover art). Really solid work!

Words alone can’t explain the mountains of gratitude, wonder, and love I feel after spending the first half of February in Nepal.

Vibes today

I see you New Year,
standing there, looking around
all full of potential,
ready to take your turn at the wheel,
naive and ready to go.

Let me give you some advice
if you want to go down as a hero
how not to be cursed come December
like so many of your predecessors
cursed down the centuries 1/6

Sending all the love to you this holiday season. ❤️❤️❤️

When Bari Weiss and CBS decided to censor the report on El Salvador’s brutal prison, they didn’t realize that bootlegged copies would surface. Please share it with everyone you know and drive these fascists crazy.

In high school in south Arkansas in the late 90s, I saw a triangular formation of lights hovering in 1 spot for a long time. After a bit, it made rapid zig zag motions & zoomed off in a way that was incomprehensible. I saw this 2 times, about a year apart. Both times I was with another person. #UAP

It’s quite the space! I’m honored to have visited it.

I’m the lucky one in this equation. I’m proud to build bridges and save lives with Father Marc’s story of survival - turning shame into JOY and SELF-ACCEPTANCE. Watch this space for details. SRP has always been about honoring the people who broke the doors down. Marc did just that! #indiepublishing

A Aztec Mexican diety painted on the back side of a building in the Fruitvale district of Oakland.

Read this one at @bryanborland.bsky.social Assaracus #Poetry reading tonight. it's called "Back Alley Gods" (2019)

Back Alley Gods
Worshipped in secret,
Image emblazoned On
the wrong side of town.

Back Alley Gods
Stolen from savages!
It seems no one was proud
To have these deities around.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE…DO YOU RECOGNIZE IT???

When I brought Assaracus back, I wanted to make sure I included voices that aren’t afraid to be subversive - just like the poets I first fell in love with in books like An Outlaw Bible of American #Poetry. Jack Drago is one of those voices. 🔥 😈 🔥 ✊🔥 His work reminds me of John Giorno.

I have 9 new poems in @bryanborland.bsky.social’s revival of Assaracus! 😈⛓️
