Super excited to have a story included in the latest issue of Moss Puppy. This is one of my oldest pieces, and one that is very close to my heart.

I have a new poem in @havehashad.com that answers the burning question of "what is the opposite of an 'eating poems' poem"

"it's all coming up now,
milkweed and mango..."

www.havehashad.com/hadposts/hei...

The cover of the book is a vintage, slightly foxy red, with white font beside a large black and white ampersand.

I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.

"Sometimes a story emerges fully formed in your mind, and sometimes it’s an onion, requiring several ‘peels’ to get to the real, eye-watering heart of the matter."

This 🔥

Beautiful 💕

I could not have written this poem were it not for my students in the Calvin Prison Initiative. For them, I am immeasurably grateful.

And my thanks, too, to the folks at Muzzle. Link to the full issue in first comment.

Guns, Sex, Phones (Katherine Schmidt) My friend says let’s go to the shooting range and I tell her I don’t know anything about guns. About hunting. About how fun it is to let loose. To pretend we don’t eat microwaveable Mac and cheese …

Thanks to @rejectionlit.bsky.social for publishing my poem “Guns, Sex, Phones” today:

What is morning and what if it doesn’t arrive? One morning mother dropped an egg and asked me if God was the same species as we are? Smear of light at five a.m. Sound of Weber’s sheep flock and sandhill cranes across the road, burble of irrigation ditch beneath my window.
