Michael McGriff is an incredible poet and I’m honored to have his words on the back cover of Ghost Hunting Glaciers. Please check out any of his collections. When I need to reimagine syntax and memory, I turn to his work for inspiration.

Anne Haven McDonnell has been an inspiration to me for many years. Her chapbook, Living with Wolves, showed me how to create an ecology within a collection and Breath on Coal is a fantastic book that I return to often. I cannot wait to read her newest book Singing Under Snow!

Rumpus Original Poetry: Two Poems by Cooper Dart - The Rumpus for samson, his sky the way I’d show up and leave into night   and he’d still be out   with that orange bikethe carburetor

“calculus assumes that at a certain point
a curved line becomes straight but that just means anything orbiting
anything is always trying to get somewhere new.”

One Poem by Jared Beloff - Terrain.org New from Jared Beloff: "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," a gorgeous, haunting poem.

I am so excited to share this poem and join the many many other Icarus poets. Here is my speculative ekphrastic "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which imagines Breughel's landscape altered by climate change.

Thank you @terrainorg.bsky.social!

My old alien body is a foreigner struggling to get into another country. The loon call makes me shiver. Back at the cabin I see a book and am not quite sure what that is.
