I took a break from posting here because months have been insane in good and bad ways, but I recently learned my poem in @rowanglassworks.bsky.social was nominated for Best of the Net! Guess I'm back! www.rowanglassworks.org/flash-glass-... #poem #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting

Cadaver by Betty Stanton

We built our temples out of what was left of the body. Skin turned to plaster, ribs into arches, the hollow of the mouth a place to echo prayer. Blood dries faster when it believes in something and...

#flashglass presents “Cadaver,” a #prosepoem by Betty Stanton (@fadingbetty.bsky.social)with a fresh twist on religious imagery. “We washed our wounds in holy water until the pain began to sing. Each scar became a psalm we could not ever stop reciting.” www.rowanglassworks.org/flash-glass-...

Someone mentioned having a 'rejection jar' where they put money for every rejection they get and use that to pay entry fees for contests and submissions. That person is a genius! Anyone else do this? How much do you put in it? What else do you use it for? #writingcommunity #amwriting

Lesson learned today - if a press asks me to send something with my submission, and I don't know what that thing means, I am too old to be submitting to that press. I don't know what a 'one word sound autobiography' is - I do know what a poem is.... #writingcommunity #amwriting

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

Ugh. Today I am very frustrated trying to do a thing that I used to do all the time like five year ago. I have lost this skill that used to be a core skill, and it is annoying.

Had a published piece solicited for an anthology for the first time. Like, someone saw it online and sought me out to include it. What a rush! It was such a sweet letter. #poem #blueskypoetry #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting

I also think I might have forgotten to share this republication of an older poem @ Doubleback Review (I love pubs that will do reprints!) doublebackreview.com/issue-8-1-ap... #poem #blueskypoetry #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting

New poem today in @neologismpoetry.bsky.social www.neologismpoetry.com/March-2026/ #poem #blueskypoetry #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting

Issue #106 out now! Featured Poet Simon MacCulloch, supported by Thom C. Addington, @fadingbetty.bsky.social, Lauren Poplock, Eleanor Carpenter, @westcottwriter.bsky.social, Mischelle Anthony, Greg Piko, Sean Patrick, and @kenpoyner.bsky.social. www.neologismpoetry.com/March-2026/

Screenshot of part of featured poem for Issue #106 by Simon MacCulloch, "Laugh Tracks" -
Did Satan die here skinless, scalded cat, each hair a crime
shed wriggling in the alleys and the gutters of our town,
and turned to fishes, finless, mouths agape and belching slime
which giggling strumpets licked and blew in bubbles, swallowed down?
Was that a wicked time?

Okay, I've given myself two weeks to recover from spinal surgery. But now I'm down to only having 20 active submissions out to journals, so time to get working again I guess. #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #amwriting
