Friends in Providence, RI (and nearby)! Kristin Prevallet and I will be reading tomorrow at Riffraff Bookstore! Local celebrity Darcie Denngian will be introducing us. Come out and join us for this TRANS/TRANCE new book extravanganza!

Now up at Boundary 2:
I reviewed Charles Bernstein's new book of criticism (link in comments)

Looking forward to reading with Darcie Dennigan and Stine An at P&T Knitwear in NYC this Tuesday! We all have new books out and we're all excited to share them with you. Unfortunately there is a $5 cover charge, but I assure you that we are worth it!

Happy Birthday to my new book The Valleys Are So Lush and Steep, out today from @saturnaliabooks.bsky.social ! (link to order in the comments)

See, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social? You are absolutely not better or more socially acceptable than your trans constituents after all. You are still dealing with much of the exact same shit we are.

I am reading with Mark Doty today at 7 PM in the Poetry in the Garden Series at Keeler Tavern Musem in Ridgefield, CT. See you there! Winners of the 2025 Ridgefield Pride Poetry Contest will also be reading one poem each: keelertavernmuseum.org/events/527/p...

My second full-length book of poems The Valleys Are So Lush and Steep is forthcoming from Saturnalia Books this October, and it's now available for preorder (see comments in thread below). I'm really proud of this book, & looking forward to doing a book tour for it over the coming year.

See you tonight in Providence, RI at Riffraff Books!

Looking forward to reading/speaking at the College of Staten Island next week! Thanks to Cate Marvin and CSI's Lost In Thought series for this wonderful invitation.

@alfranken.bsky.social hid the following comment that I posted in response to his podcast. As a longtime listener since the days of Air America Radio, I'm officially done with this guy. So disappointing.

Stunned and saddened to hear the news that Pierre Joris has died. I have known Pierre since 2004 when Gerrit Lansing introduced us at his house in Gloucester. He is one of the great poets, & we have been to each other's readings over the years, & I'm having trouble describing him in the past tense.
