You’re the best. 💚🙏

I’ve told more people than I can count about @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social’s memoir YOU COULD MAKE THIS PLACE BEAUTIFUL and her latest book DEAR WRITER. Well, this fabulous woman read both, so we got together for dinner and a 2-person book club! When I tell you that Smith’s work made SO MANY things…

Thank you!

Some fine new additions to my obsession with books on writing craft and writer bios, Cooler Than Cool about Elmore Leonard, Toni at Random about Toni Morrison as an editor, and Dear Writer by @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social ... @harpercollins.bsky.social and @atriabooks.bsky.social

Thank. You. 🥹

This thread from the brilliant (and generous!) Koritha Mitchell made my day. ❤️🙏

Thank YOU!

Thank you, Steve! It was a joy and an honor. (And yes, that’s a Mr. Potato Head ear I’m holding up, an object featured in the poem “Talisman” from my book Goldenrod.)😂

🙏🙏🙏

Words of wisdom from Maggie Smith:

“Nothing that any of us makes or achieves happens without community. Period. We need each other.”

Wonderful!

Day made. My not-so-secret motive for Dear Writer was to get more people writing (and reading) poetry.🎉

Wendy! Day made. 🥰🙏

Thank you, Wendy!

For real, if you need a shot of level-headed pep, this conversation with @bradlisti.bsky.social and @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social will set you right! 📕 ✨
