That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

Michael—my favorite poet of night, of envelopes, of trains, of kisses, of mistakes, of sleep, of houses & their porches, of dreams, of the small huge (the parenthetically cosmic), of night, of night, of porches & their light, of let me try again to tell you, of the moon

If in the Stellar Coast of Evening I Could Only Know My Name by Michael Burkard I think I would hear the passengers, I think I would hear the porch kiss the rain (I know the rain kisses the porch, that I can hear)… I think I would stop hating thinking which is the only feeling I know which survives thinking even more lastly than thinking… and if the car did go by with a messenger within I could eat the somber message of my friend’s painting and thereby turn it into a light by eating it, by feeling the ghost is with me at last, again, as it must have been years and nights ago when the rain and the porch were the same passenger and I the train they chose to travel in.

“ I don't know how much we want to fight to keep it. We can use it to benefit farmers and agriculture in the state, but don't want to run counter to Trump's Administration.”

This thread is one year old today, and, unfortunately, it is even more important to be reading and preserving trans stories than when it started. I truly thank everyone who has contributed to it, everyone who has kept sharing it, and everyone who has made a point to buy books from these authors. 🧵

"Perhaps ultimately, Poli’s collection illustrates how a collapse can lead to an expansion, leading not to an expansion of knowing, but of the true beauty of not knowing." Grateful for this beautiful and smart review of Red Ocher by Grace Johnson. coloradoreview.colostate.edu/reviews/red-...
