Until the end of June, I’m selling my poetry collection for $10 with free shipping. It has gay poems, depression poems, climate poems, and other things you love. DM if interested.

Finally got my hands on this lovely anthology from @rough-diamond1.bsky.social which features a couple of mine. I particularly enjoyed ‘Parking’ by Devon Neal, ‘Hymn for a Sunday Morning’ by @taylorfthiel.bsky.social and @Tamiko_Dooley’s ‘Omission’

The thing is, I don’t know anyone that has half a skull, so that’s even more wild.

Would rather run a litmag for free than run the world into the ground for a trillion dollars.

Always a thrill to submit to a @havehashad.com call, but even more thrilling to get a skull! Here’s my poem “Wrong Song”!

Signs by Devon Neal   Three times a weekend it was blue jeans that snapped shut and choked my waist. Twice, a still-moist body out of the shower and into button shirts with tight collars. We were Pentecost...

Encounter | Czeslaw Milosz

We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.
A red wing rose in the darkness.

And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
One of us pointed to it with his hand.

That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive,
Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.

O my love, where are they, where are they going
The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.
I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

NEW POEM #204: "How to write about autumn" by Jan Hassmann

"Write about autumn, but
not the trees trembling.
Write about the strays born
with the first fog,
pleading why,
why, why this world?
Write about biding."

NEW POEM #203: "persephone's descent" by Eugenia Pozas

"and for weeks after i was gone
the hounds barked at nothing,
and he would sit in his quiet office,
eyes searching for me in all the hollows.
now spring has closed its mouth shut."

My friends at Chaotic Merge aren’t on Bluesky yet (that I’ve seen), but they’ve been wonderful to work with while publishing my poem “What’s That Bug Called” in their new issue. Read below!

Amazon and other chain book stores care only about the bottom line and profits. If you don't have a reputable independent book store in your town, please order from here.

Also, Jeff Bezos is a super scumfuck, so never give a single cent to Amazon for anything ever.
