I like this stage of the internet where people have decided everything is A.I. Heck, you might even be A.I. now and not even know it.
Every poet has their Odyssey poem, I told my students, so this one in The Georgia Review is mine. A poem about home while my father fades out. Thanks to the lovely team at Georgia Rev— especially Gerald Maa and CJ Bartunek. Feels good to be in the home journal with this one.
Little House on the Prairie sucked the first time but someone owns the IP so I guess it's what we get in 2026.
Watching one of my favorite movies but I can't tell you what it is because I don't wanna get social media cancelled. Because that's real life now.
Maybe not a poem short enough for @tomsnarsky.bsky.social's set of short poems but short for me, I guess. From a chapbook manuscript called Land of Light & Joy, published in the new issue of Autocorrect. @johannesg.bsky.social is in here too! www.autocorrectmag.com/03/index.html
I was just at Lowe's again buying paint and Stevie Wonders' I Just Called to Say I Love You came on and like 30 people stopped and starting singing together. Beat that, Home Depot.
Poor Bonnie Tyler. Turned out it was a partial eclipse of the heart. She told us she was falling apart but did we listen?
I can't believe all these poetry contests are so rigged. Trivedi derangement syndrome!
Whenever I show people my bedroom, of course I say "This is where the magic happens," but what I mean is "Where I get 3 hours of terrible sleep and wait for my heart to explode."
Many thoughts of late on IP and authorship (both Patagonia and Fender and their lawsuits) but AI is an intriguing problem. I'm fascinated by how our students are both obsessed with their idea ownership and also ask ChatGPT how to brush their teeth 🙂
Your free and independent press are owned by corporations who care for nothing more than profit. And when that profit is tied to the regime in charge, you're doubly screwed. We always knew this is where we were headed, right?? (He said, posting a link from NBC.) www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

Obviously the goal is to make everyone so desperate they will take any conditions they are left with. Gotta work 20 hour days delivering Amazon? Great! For 25 cents a day? Please! The forces that led to slavery merely adapted. They didn't go anywhere.

My Dad turned 85 today. If you're reading this, you're more aware of it than he is, but 85 years seems like a long time regardless.
The end of two years as faculty and boy are my four humors tired. I think I've been an alright colleague and member of the community. A decent mentor and professor to amazing students. A poem for the university President's inauguration 🤯🤯🤯. Productive, successful, happy BUT whew...
"Bless / the wound / for what it has changed, / how it heals into itself." From "Thirst Trap," one of four new poems by @cdcurtiss.bsky.social. ➡️ buff.ly/TdXvzaS
Rebecca's discovery of our little @atpost45.bsky.social cluster (mixed with the final day of teaching) had me thinking about CD and how a) she was incredibly good at the game of poetry world while also b) hating the "gamesmanship" of it while c) despise anyone for treating it that way but...
Rebecca Colesworthy@rcolesworthy.bsky.social · 3mo agoI miss so much good stuff these days. I am somehow only just discovering this cluster on C. D. Wright, the best of the best (and you can, too!).
REASONS TO KEEP GOING: a new @kqandrews.bsky.social book
Kim Andrews@kqandrews.bsky.social · 3mo agoCOVER REVEAL: so excited and grateful for this design by Hadley Kehoe at Cal State Chico for Flume Press. This short book about bird extinction coming your way later in the summer. I will be spamming the pre-order link soon 🌿
It's weird when I see people win early career poetry prizes and then, upon reading their bios, find they have some incredible administrative or editorial role that puts them in poetry circles in major ways. Talk about forms of capital!
Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year: It is the longest possible time before National Poetry Month.
Did anyone else read this Opinion focus group article in @nytimes.com ? It's insane. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I made this two years ago for IG and I find it increasingly accurate Also I'm watching Broadcast News yet again.
Well, okay, maybe ONE MORE review...but then I'm really out.
