One Poem by Grant Clauser - Terrain.org Grant Clauser's ecopoem "Slugs Have Teeth, and Other Useless Facts" (with audio) may, like the poet himself, keep you up worrying at night.

I hope you enjoy my new poem featured in @terrainorg.bsky.social. It's loaded with mushrooms, slugs, butterflies, and orcas. www.terrain.org/2025/poetry/...

Is it possible to write an erotic (intimate?) poem with a mountain? Because I think I just did?

The Size of the Horizon, or, I Explained Everything to the Trees by Mitchell Nobis | Books | Match Factory Editions The Size of the Horizon explores parenting, uncertainty, and injustice, weaving nature, gun violence, and joy into poetry that embraces life’s chaos.

It's publication week for my first poetry collection. If you read poetry, you might dig it. If you don't but still want to support me and my press (the wonderful @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social), your library might want it.

Back in PA Last year at this time, I had covid and was languishing in bed, unable to tend to the garden. A regional drought meant I really should have been watering the new plants; and it also kept the weeds …

So very grateful to Camas Magazine for giving my poetry space. “Landscape Fugues” is a form I’ve been playing with inspired by Jeff Parker’s ETA IVTet and Forfolks records

Home Enjoy beautiful gardens, giant trolls, and miles of trails at New England's largest botanical garden, located on the coast of Maine.

Not sure where exactly you’re going, but this place is cool and the kids will dig it!

Adirondack Center for Writing - The Adirondack Center for Writing brings people and words together throughout 6 million acres of the Adirondack Park.

I’ll be up in the Adirondacks at the end of June. That’s kinda halfway for all of us right? Is there a cool bookstore to read at? Or here?
