White wall with the shadow of leaves cast upon it. Black text that reads "As the garden starts to silence, I think, Is this what it's like to hear/a god? I want to scream like a star exploding, but instead I sit/and hold my wife's hand and wait" From Reading Rosebud Ben-Oni's Turn Around, BRXGHT XYXS While Listening to Tori Amos's Cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart During the Total Solar Eclipse" by Anthony Frame

We've been dogless for a little over a year (for the first time in 40 years!) as we have chosen to travel a lot, and although it is so much easier, we do miss having a dog. There will eventually be another.

Sending you all the vibes!🤞

Hey, a friendly reminder to all of you writers out there who aren't on any end of year lists or nominated for anything or winning awards... Lots of us are out here reading and loving what you make, are instructed and impacted by it. Keep doing what you do.

@johnpauldavis.org, I'm cleaning my office and look what I found!

We just finished watching. It's a gorgeous, quiet film. Not enough of those.

If you missed last night with @darrencdemaree.bsky.social, never fear. Below is the link to the video where Darren reads poems from Now Flourish Northern Cardinal @smallharborpub.bsky.social
& we talk about mapping a book's shape, being a "lifer,"and the joy of creating.

Feel like I haven't been designing too many book covers recently and I would like that to change.

What?! Do you mean all those emails from every journal I've ever read are not acceptances? Rude.

Gorgeous cover, once again @albanfischer.bsky.social ! I can't wait for this one. Congrats, @zoeryderwhite.bsky.social!

Now it's tonight! In about two hours! Still time to register!

I started wearing slippers with a rubber sole/hard front. Seriously. Hope you heal up fast!

I have done this three-count 'em- three times in the last six months. I'm surprised none of them were breaks.

So happy for all of these writers but particularly for my friend and @asteralesjournal.bsky.social co-editor @rebunting.bsky.social!

Oh, hi, Gunner! We had a Gunner that we lost a little over a year ago, and he is missed.

But what about fünf?

We used to make penne and then stir in all the lasagna ingredients, melt some cheese on top, and call it fake bake.

No...we were looking at perhaps visiting Zagreb and reading about the things to do there...

The museum!

Whoa. This is so weird - I literally was talking to my husband about this when it popped up in my feed...

Send us your things! We've had lots of withdrawals this cycle (and we're so happy for those writers), but that means we're looking forward to seeing work from more of you! Decisions will be made shortly after the Dec. 15 deadline...so quick turnaround, too!

It's a wonderful book ... And I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel this fall and he is a delightful person.

This is tomorrow! You know you need a quiet evening of poems and two friends talking about poems!

Inside my body, a new universe is just beginning- matter and molecules, dark energy all raked together in some pre-universe muck from "Fearful Symmetry" by Allison Blevins. White mannequin head with back scribbles in the brain area reaching past its limits and into a landscape of dark mountains and a spiraling white sky

Read these two poems by Allison Blevins and travel through both the universe and the body, both mysterious and mostly out of our control. asteralesjournal.com/1-4-blevins-sq…
