Just accidentally explained to my kids that “a rando is just a friend they haven’t met yet.” They’re gonna have a great vocab

I’ve never been one to question authority But that’s all changing not that I’ve watched so many ABS challenge replays

This post about my kick-ass bestie broke containment. Imagine if 10% of the people who liked this post bought a copy of the book. Hell imagine if 5% did. This is poetry, all numbers are big numbers. from @pubgen.bsky.social or wherever you buy books www.publishinggenius.com/catalog/apri...

Hey, upcoming event! I'm opening for the amazing @clairemtaylor.com at Booksweet in Ann Arbor a week from Friday! Looks like they haven't updated the events on the website in a bit, but this'll have the address and whatnot. More soon but save that April 3rd date. 🤘🏼

Heading to Cleveland. Anyone know the best bookstore there? Best rock club? The best cocktails?

One thing I noticed about #awp2026 is that no one shared their Wordle scores

for peeps at AWP! @pubgen.bsky.social

As y'all head off to #awp26, I am calculating our author royalties. I cannot stress this enough - buy small press books directly from publishers. It's the way everyone makes the most money and art can continue to happen!

Mine arrived today—get yours! It's great!

It’s been a week since my book came out! Have you ordered a copy? Did your copy arrive? I hope you love it. I hope you don’t hate it. I hope it makes a very nice coaster if that’s how it can best meet your needs at this time. www.publishinggenius.com/catalog/apri...

But seriously, @clairemtaylor.com is the best and her book is so great!

Getting packed up and excited for AWP! Starting Thursday afternoon, we'll be at booth 961 with Galileo Press. Come hang with us!! We have signings with poetry books on Saturday.

Forgot to take a picture but imagine a gargantuan box of padded mailers on its way to the USPS, stuffed with April and Back Again by @clairemtaylor.com

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

Our bookstore, Snowfort, will be closed today, but our community space, Snowfort, will be open today.

Google is increasing the cost of my Workspace acct by $2/month saying "The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value." I truly hate their AI and have no idea how I would even use it. I can complete my own sentences Anyone switching to Zoho?

At Snowfort (our bookstore), we did an MLK event called "Poetry for Good," a workshop led by @amysmcd.bsky.social. Amy wrote about it for Zona Motel zonamotel.substack.com/p/dispatch-p...

We ran off a bunch of riso copies of @marc-fischer.bsky.social’s excellent tract “Who shares the restroom code with ICE agents?” Free while supplies last!

I know I'm bad at the internet, but I also know I just got an enticing marketing email from Bit.ly that said “we spent 485 hours testing links so you don’t have to” ... and the one link in the email doesn’t work. Feeling vindicated

From 2011 to 2015, Edward Mullany released a trilogy of books with @pubgen.bsky.social that we return to often. Tiny poems & microfictions both haunting & hilarious. He ended these 3 books with a trio of novellas (The Three Sunrises), a series of fever dream fables not to be missed.

My debut poetry collection, April and Back Again, is coming Feb 24th, 2026, from @pubgen.bsky.social! You can get a peek at the vibes by reading "October (After My Hysterectomy)" in the Fall issue of @whaleroadreview.bsky.social. www.whaleroadreview.com/taylor-5/
