Writer. Wine taster. Chapbook prize winner. Memoirist. Words in Thin Skin, Taos Journal of Poetry, Thimble Literary Mag, Mom Egg Review, Literary Orphans, Spire Light, The Fourth River, Marbled Sigh, Lime Hawk Review, and more. Found in Europe + Florida.
So there’s a chapbook by me and it won a prize and I read from it in various places and I know we are supposed to sell these things but honestly I just enjoy the fact that it exists in the world. Happy writing, friends.
Chuck Wendig@chuckwendig.bsky.social · 2w agoEverything is terrible but books are good. Especially books written by real people. Talk about your books. Show us your art. Let us see the cool stuff you make. You need it but we need it too. Art helps maker and receiver get their heads above the rough, churning waters of reality. No shame in it.
So much to cling to in this poem. 💜

Writing a poem over a divine lunch and taking things too far in my description of a cucumber slice these things cannot be helped.
Happy birthday to the most encouraging group of writers I know! I’ve been with them in Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, and Paris … and I can’t wait for where we go this year. 💜💜💜

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
I had a great time last week listening to @cariwriting.bsky.social share poems from her new chapbook, which won the Yellow Jacket Press 2025 chapbook award. #poetryopenmic #poetrychapbooks #poetry #floridapoets
So happy to have a flash piece (which began as a writing prompt last year) in the fantastic @thin-skin.bsky.social … enjoy all the good work in this issue. 💜 thin-skin.com/flash-fictio...
A Perfect Day Not to Meet - Thin Skin
Jon is no doubt wandering Egmont Park, wondering if he got a detail wrong. He is looking for me, anxious perhaps that I am late, but certain I will show. I am a good person, he trusts that.
