Back from #awp2025 and in the rhythm of grading and still trying to figure out how to balance that work / family / writing thing but feeling closer to being able to do so. The last panel I attended was on fallow times, which are always involuntary for me, so I'm building networks to prevent that.
I sometimes print practice cursive sheets for my sophomores who are about to sign their driver’s licenses.
I love the National Book Awards fiction lists. They so often contain some of my favorite contemporary reads. I now love them even more for adding Mona Power to the just announced long list: www.nationalbook.org/2023-nationa...

I live in a tiny blip of a town (population 363), so when I go up to the city, I get all achey and nostalgic for buildings like this. We went to Owamni, then ice cream at Sebastian Joe’s, and finished it up at Mager’s & Quinn with a sack full of used books.
This is one of the maps I’m using as I job search.
Aaaaaand, just ordered. I love Bluesky. I’m going to be so broke so fast.

Just got assigned my first poetry workshop at the university where I teach! I’ve been assigned World Mythology on repeat for a good while, which is a great class too, but I’ve wanted to get back into the creative writing college classroom for a while! ♥️

After years of being locked on twitter, I unlocked tonight to write the following thread, which I'm copying over here for all you who have rightfully left that place behind.
