If an AI detector ever tags any of my writing with AI use, it won't be because I used AI in my writing. It will be because LLMs were trained on my writing. Where do you think AI used to learn em-dashes? Someday when I travel to the epicenter of the AI singularity, I will encounter myself.

#DentonPoetsAssembly launched our “When Poets Meet Again” anthology. Kudos to Susan Campbell and Christine Irving for a well curated collection. 6 of my poems are in the book, including a Maxine Kumin golden shovel. www.amazon.com/Poets-Again-... #poetrycommunity #poetry @poetrysocietyoftexas.org

Check out Isssue 36 of Blackbox Manifold. I have 3 poems in it: “planted,” “the relationship diminishing,” and “golden fruit.” I especially enjoyed poems by Dr. Alicia Byrne Keane & Ashik Kahina. @alexhouen.bsky.social #poetry #poetrycommunity #BlackboxManifold blackboxmanifold.sites.sheffield.ac.uk

I just got my copy of the Elizabeth Royal Patton Poetry Prize Anthology 2025, for which my poem "a world," inspired by a line from Adrienne Rich, made the longlist. My favorite poem in the book is entitled "Basil" by poet Sara Ries Dziekonski. #poetrycommunity #poetry #ClareSongbirds

Check out the latest issue of @naugatuckriverrvw.bsky.social. Happy to see my poem “Cadet” there. I especially enjoyed the poems by Hollie Dugas, @jeremy-cox.bsky.social, Emily Zogbi and Kaleb Wachala (congratulations on his first published poem, it’s top-notch). #poetry #poetrycommunity #cadet

PST's Book of the Year is out! A lot of great poetry here, but also maybe, it has 6 of my poems - two on the topic of kindness and two of my space poems (part of a chapbook manuscript). (Poetry doesn't have to add up.) #poetry #poetrycommunity #astronomy #kindness @poetrysocietyoftexas.org

In my quest to watch all of the best films, I just rewatched “Do the Right Thing” after 30 some years. Friends, this is a masterpiece. It’s just so well done. It should have won best picture. It’s that good. (And was almost wholly snubbed and won no awards.) Watch it.
