Yet again, explaining to my husband that the conjuring is obviously a love story (and Annabel their spawn, of course) #horror #love
The Devil Takes you Home by Gabino Iglesias was my Day of the Dead read. Terrifying truths, painfully horrible. Narration is incredible. Grateful to all the horror writers out there for the scary. Still thinking about the lyrical, haunting voice of Mario. Exquisite writing. @gabino.bsky.social
9 months ago. Words are fearful again. Writing never gives up.
Santa Fe's Arthur Sze is the U.S. poet laureate for 2025-26, the Library of Congress announced Monday. He officially assumed the role Sept. 1 and replaces Ada Limón, who in turn followed poet, musician, and educator Joy Harjo.

Writing Center severely compromised by lack of funding. The grammerly/AI take over is almost complete.
Helen Laser’s performance of Nat Cassidy’s “When the Wolf Comes Home” is so perfect for the pace of the story. It’s superbly scary. It’s also just such a great world to be dropped right into. In love with the wolf. 🔨

I love the wordplay in @jamespenha.bsky.social's #Sciku here, giving a circular feel to a fantastic poem with hope for the future of dementia prevention.

Enamored with The Haunting of Room 904. The writing and the narration are just superb and spooky. Great read. I had a long wait at the library but got them to order another copy. #librarylove

Beautiful.
A new poem in @hootreview about the constant, unwinding grief and loss of being indefinitely ill during a pandemic so few still observe.

Real-time image of me trying to reach the end of this semester.
Still one of my very fav wilderness thriller/horror series.
We are so immersed in horror that it’s hard to really get into my favorite genre but Bearskin written by James McLaughlin & narrated by MacLeod Andrews is a delight of scary.
One of my favs for the writing center folks:

I’ve been frazzled this month by not being a librarian, economist, lawyer, scientist, USAID life giver, politician—but being a writer lets me be for a sec. #wethepeople #poetry

It’s so long! I guess that is a good thing. I’m not done either😬
I am!

I’ve been thinking about this all night. I’m going with Misery of course but then I’d want him to immediately walk into the first few pages of Devil eat Devil.
Reading Johnny Compton’s comptonwrites.bsky.social “Devil eats Devil” and it was well worth the wait. Narrated by Imani Jade Powers. Powers’ voices rocks the reader through this scary story. Just an incredible pairing of writing and narrating.
An envoi reports ‘the way
Is mere wavering,’ unmark’d, and
Apt to sully souls used
To hours of senseless hammering.
