Nikki Giovanni's "Allowables" is one that has always stuck with me. RIP to one of the greatest.

"Poets of the mystic, the spiritual, and the devotional have wielded the image to draw a powerful parallel between the art of imagination and the practice of faith."

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.

So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

I just had 2 #poems accepted by The Pinch!

"Consumed in Three Parts" had been rejected 28 times before being accepted by The Pinch! That's the most rejections any of my poems had gotten before acceptance.

"The Funeral Procession Transmogrifies into Crows" was rejected 5 times before.

#TransDayOfRemembrance was yesterday and my friend Selina was on my mind. They would have turned 30 in 2025 and I wonder what conversations we could have had about poetry, gender, musicals. This is a poem I wrote for them a few years ago, now in @sugarhousereview.bsky.social (we met in Sugar House)

No, you don't qualify for the Rattle Young Poets Anthology because you're "young at heart." 🙃
