When my first book came out, I—as one does—emailed every poetry person I knew an invitation to the online launch. 30 minutes before it started, I got a mean-spirited email saying “I don’t know who you are, don’t ever email me again.”
Let’s send all our dem senators home and draft our mayors instead
This was such a fun conversation!

Nothing better than hearing that the AP Lit group chat has been blowing up over their story homework 😄
IMO, this accounts for about 80% of the behavioral problems in schools. Students act out bc they know they don't have the academic skills to succeed. Remediating those skills costs too much, so we pretend that we can social-emotional them out of it.
What I’ve taken in over the last couple years is that when people have an irrationally outsized emotional response to doing a task,90% of the time it is because they can’t do it — not that they won’t do it. They can’t. And most people will die trying to prove why that’s someone else’s fault.

I've started doing pleasure reading for 10-15 minutes a class with my sophomores. When I say it's reading time, their books are out in >1 minute and the classroom is dead silent.
Every time I see the VSC residencies open I look at the applications and then I remember that they're $2700 and I could go to Paris for two weeks for that.
author copies have arrived; hardback on the left and paperback on the right... and im not any good for the rest of the day.
It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Jenn Martelli. She was a wonderful poet, colleague, collaborator, and friend to all. Her light will be dearly missed.
