3/2 I missed a clause in there—whomever’s voice you are speaking for—just make sure it’s something they would actually say, and you can’t do that without consultation with just such a person. No matter how sympathetic you are, you risk coming off as an ass.

please just run the poem past them , or at least a good editor. before you post your sincere attempt on social media. I keep seeing this happen with a “popular” poet, and it comes off as patronizing and attention seeking. Better poets have learned this the hard way. 2/2

One of the problems with persona poems is when the writer means well but obviously knows little about the actual perspective of the persona they are attempting to embody.
Please, ask a queer person, a black person, a person who struggles with disability or mental illness . . . 1/2

Oscar is always so helpful with the laundry

Make that “In Three Poems”
I swear, I am not, in fact, three poems.

I love this, gotta say. I remember using teletype lines to get into the computer systems for the ILL job I had after college, remember the first Macintosh computer. Gopher anyone? LOL I guess my first email address would have been in 1992.

I'll be signing Unrivered at the Sundress table #732 from 1-3! Come by and say hello!

If you’re at AWP, feel free to wander around awkwardly and escape uncomfortable conversation by waving at people who aren’t there and and then quickly walking that direction, in my stead.

He’s an absolute gem!

That is fantastic, Ray!

Thank you, Ray! I’ve been wanting to ask if you have any new poems in the works!

Please insert the word “podcast” up above. 😆🫠

Also, I read an article yesterday that said 80% of new podcasts don’t make it past episode 10. Well, we’re about to release episode 10 on Thursday, and episode 11 is already recorded. 12 and 13 are underway. I am learning so much and just loving it. Thanks for giving me the chance to do this.

So, this happened yesterday. And while I focus more on audio, there are another 200+ views on YouTube to add to this. I just wanna thank you so much for listening and taking some of your valuable time to hang out and listen to these poetry. I’m told this is a good start for, and I thank you for it!

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying

Obligatory

So this whole heated rivalry thing has really gotten to Oscar and Jake. This whole thing was their idea. I did not agree to including my dirty kitchen floor.

Saying “Friendly Reminder” at the beginning of your email is like announcing, “I’m a nice person” right before you prove otherwise.
