Portlanders, come join me in celebrating Joan's latest, unforgettable poetry collection, this Sunday at Powell's!
They had galleys of The Brightness at Winter Institute. I think they all got scooped up pretty quickly.

❤️
Excited to see 3 (!!!) @upittpress.bsky.social poets on this incredible list: Angela Ball, Joan Naviyuk Kane, and Larry Levis!

“The feeling of wonder is not just the feeling of awe, the captivation of wild landscapes or the sun falling under the ocean’s rim at twilight. Wonder is a quiet strum in a churchyard with a tender hound bounding after rabbits.”

Loved this poetry book so much! It was an honor to judge.
Every October for Halloween I transform my studio into a retro VHS rental place with tapes for sale from vintage friends; it's a ton of work and so much fun. The Grand Opening is this Saturday, 12-4pm with vintage horror paperback seller The Bookubus and I'd love it if you came! 517 Greenfield Ave.

This social media site will not and cannot succeed until everybody pats me on the head and tells me I’m a good boy for all my opinions
No offers on it yet, apparently…
Apparently it’s booked solid for showings for the next week.
This is my friend’s house! I’m sad he has to sell it. He put so much work into it.
I love him.
