NAWP
@notatawp.bsky.social
NAWP is for writers who, for whatever reason, can't go to AWP. AWP attendees are welcome too, of course. NAWP is for everyone. NAWP loves you. Co-founded by @readinstead.bsky.social & @mitchnobis.bsky.social.
NAWP's co-founders are teachers whose summers get busier than the school year because they're also parents, so it's now hiatus time at NAWP HQ. Catch up on (most) previous NAWP events on our YouTube, which you can reach through our site below! Love you crazy kids. NAWP! notatawp.com
NAWP
Not at AWP (NAWP) is an online literary series of sorts with readings, open mics, and a shouting ostrich.

This post brought to you by NAWP. NAWP: Do you *really* need a real life community?
Mitchell Nobis@mitchnobis.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis book I'm listening to about dad life just said dads GAIN MORE social connection in fatherhood and buddard what are you talking about? I love parenthood, but I see my friends and brother approx. 943% less than I used to. I made new dad friends, sure, but rarely see them either, so.
This isn't the end of poetry month because in truth poetry is year round.
At this point I'm mostly thinking of starting a NAWP newsletter just so I can do it on a platform that doesn't embrace Nazis (or at least as far as we know because this seems to be how things go now).
Come hear @chiaradilello.bsky.social on May 7! I heard her read last night for @notatawp.bsky.social, and I can tell you that you won't be sorry to hear these poems! Register here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Didn't even try to write poems this month and I am ok with that. I tend to write in bursts now and the poems seem better that way. Trust your process.
Remembering when Tw*tt*r was good and WNYC invited folks to write poems about each NYC borough for #nationalpoetrymonth. (Also a way of saying THANK YOU to Queens poet Jared Beloff @readinstead.bsky.social for having me as a guest on @notatawp.bsky.social yesterday, & @mitchnobis.bsky.social too!)
Sheesh, sorry about that! Copying the wrong link is SO NAWPstrich, y'know? To be clear, these are both amazing poets with amazing new books! @djvorreyer.bsky.social: sundress-publications.square.site/product/unri... @janezwart.bsky.social: www.orisonbooks.com/product-page...

You kinda have to slur two syllables into one, but to the tune of "Werewolves of London": 🎶 Awoooo, assholes of literature, awooo... 🎶
Nick Arvin@nickarvin.bsky.social · 4mo agoMany great assholes suggested here. Thanks all!
I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5
