Funny, "ageku" in Japanese means something to the effect of "well, that's the end, but it wasn't worth it." 😬😄

Isn't that things in a nutshell indeed... Hahaha their culture always knows how to put things unforgettably!! 🤣

Truly, you said it, one of the kindest and most impressive ethos and stunning ranges in print seriously, I think Tom and Stanford are so well aligned and compatible too in terms of sensibilities very seamless issue indeed!! 😀

All over there (including ageku!✨) seriously well done, more jungle gyms should be designed by MC Escher!! 😉🥂👏

Writer copies of my new chapbook "...botApa̲r̲t̲!" are now in my hands, many thanks to @stonecorpse.com for welcoming my latest Dada-esque explosion into the fold. If you want a signed copy ($7 ppd US, $10 ppd World), hmu!

Thoroughly chuffed+so grateful to incomparable editorial team Lee Gurga+Scott Metz for the important & discerning work they generously do annually highlighting #haiku poetry in seminal series from Modern Haiku Press...

So happy to hear brother, deeply grateful to you for generously taking the time & your so kind words, you've been sharing incredible work recently (HSJ and other impressive places!) Kelly Moyer was passing through town with Bob and we were just chatting about how awesome you were the other day! 😁🙏✨

Thank you so much Kimberly hope you are having a beautiful August!! 🤓🙏✨

Many thanks to Prune Juice editors P.H. Fischer and Antoinette Cheung for selecting a couple verses of mine and a tan-renga with @jeromeberglund.bsky.social, and for their tenure at the helm as they are stepping down, and congratulations and welcome to new editor Pippa Phillips, a worthy successor!

#Presence #82 is out and under new stewardship - co-editors James Roderick Burns, Ken Cockburn and Becky Dwyer, members of the Edinburgh Haiku Circle. A few interesting tweaks but still the same fabulous journal, full of cracking work from many talented poets. I wish the new team well. #haiku

Thank you so much brother hope you are enjoying an excellent summer!!

That means the world my friend so very grateful for your kind words, such a fun one I recall on the other side of that fence there was a waterfall! :D I hope you are having a beautiful summer, wishing very best always with warm regards!

was reading through the Autumn 2023 issue of Frogpond and came across this gem by @jeromeberglund.bsky.social. great line choice and imagery, and it creates a sense of adventure that starts just as the poem ends -- more of a beginning than an ending. for sure one of the best of the issue.

Looks like a good program! F*** trump!

Woo!
