So I'll just have lots to look for in 2026! (and obviously lit mags I will have to buy)! How exciting to start the year like that. I'll probably start the year with all the rejections rolling in. 🀣

I love the idea of an analog desk! Glue sticks, paper, pencils, markers! Remind me of Austin Kleon … and I try (tho I don’t have space for 2 desks) to do analog as much as possible (& scissors!)

Such a good introduction to this β€œnew-to-me” poet. Their syntax reminds me of Lauren Camp’s.
