I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Micah attempting to tell me a joke: “Why do cows have hooves instead of udders?” Me: “What the fu . . .?” Micah: “Oh, wait! . . .”

Our next episode features an in depth conversation with @cphillipspoet.bsky.social. Tune in Thursday on your favorite podcast platform or at inthreepoems.com

The desire to forget wrenching, traumatic events is natural, but needs to be resisted strenuously. Understanding how the pandemic has influenced our personal and political lives is a matter of urgent importance, as is defending ourselves against those who would distort or deny this history.

OK, I’m not gonna tell you to stop scrolling because whenever someone tells me that stop listening, however, when I saw these two, I had to respond with two of my own. “. . . and post two characters who bring you happiness.”

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness. Good luck getting the theme song out of your head the rest of the day.

So, I’m not a praying person, not anymore, but if you are, I would not be against your putting your hands together or sending out energy into the universe or burning a candle, sacrificing your first child, whatever it takes.

@katiemanningpoet.bsky.social is our featured poet this week on the In Three Poems podcast. And if, like me, you find yourself at the conjunction of poetry and birding, even better!

In Three Poems@inthreepoems.bsky.social · 3w ago

This episode is live and you can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and platforms I didn’t even know existed until I looked at our stats. Also, you can just push the play button ▶️ at inthrerpoems.com

It smells like one big campfire down here in central Pennsylvania

This episode with the #poetry of @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social goes live tomorrow, Thursday, July 16! Listen or watch on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and 14 other venues! And, as always, on inthreepoems.com

I’m thinking that it makes sense for the podcast to have its own Instagram account, separate from my personal one, but I’m not so sure that that was the right decision here on Bluesky. I don’t know, can my Bluesky account handle a poetry podcast, birding, and random nonsense all in one account?

Ever wonder why poets only get the corner

Guys I just talked to Mitch McConnell and he said your poem should probably be two poems

I’m on the wrong continent for this, but if you’d can get to Liverpool, this sounds like a good time!

Hello, I’ve an event for my Muriel Spark biography next Weds (15th) at Waterstones Liverpool. We’ve sold barely any tickets, however, and it might be cancelled as a result. Please get a ticket if you’re nearby - it’ll be a lot of fun, and I’ll bring badges! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/waterstone...

Delighted to have a new poem in the Oxford Review of Books! (Shame about the typo, but I’ve been called worse 😂)

Before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet arguing for the colonies to break free from the British monarchy. In this episode, I read and talk with @crystalsimonesmith.bsky.social about her work of erasure poetry based on “Common Sense.” www.buzzsprout.com/2516618/epis...
