If you weren't able to snag a signed copy of There Is News Along The Ohio River at AWP & want one, hmu! Two readings & a signing last week & sweet messages from folx who’ve read it so far have been super positive. Thanks to those of you who've read, purchased, or said something nice about it or me.

There's an axolotl to love about @bettysueblue.bsky.social incredible book!
"See how it compensates?
It gets sloppy. It spills
down its bra. It’s sticky. It howls.
Milkweed. Remember?
You’ll be enmeshed soon."
River River poet @zoeryderwhite.bsky.social with a poem at Only Poems today -- www.onlypoemsdaily.com/p/the-dream-...
“An elegy, D. A. Powell writes in an essay titled ‘Structures of the Elegy,’ is a ‘paradise of remembering.’”
