It’s the end of Tin House Winter Workshop and I feel like my mind and spirit have been magnified by 10. So grateful for an amazing instructor; generous cohorts; @almajor.bsky.social and everyone @tinhouse.bsky.social who work hard to make the amazing place it is. I feel utterly changed. 💕
A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"
99.99% of the time you're going to be the first and last person to read it. If it ever gets in front of another human, it has already survived the insurmountable odds of your own self-rejection, and the odds become much more grim after that. Just go ahead and write whatever you want!
Going to think about this poem for a long time.
Stone Circle Review@stonecirclereview.bsky.social · 2y agoNEW POEM #197: "Greyhound" by Caroline Shea (@therealcshea.bsky.social) "I run for no other reason but the running. Long since lure- wise, I play at predation. Clockwork jackrabbit. Gear-blooded hare. The aim is not capture (impossible always) but pursuit." stonecirclereview.com/greyhound
So thrilled to be part of the Tin House Winter Workshop in February, working with Vanessa Angélica Villarreal!

He makes working difficult but he’s cute while doing it.
I am thrilled that my CNF piece found a home at Motherwell Magazine! We just finished getting our oldest to college today, and so this feels like a great marker to the day. 💗 motherwellmag.com/2024/08/22/h...

So Great to catch up with Jonathan! And excellent dinner at Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft. A much appreciated repast after a long day.
Made it to my first stop in Ardmore on the long drive home. Missing the Vermont people and looking forward to being home at the same time.
Goodbye Vermont! I know it’s the Green Mountain State, but I’ll always remember it in shades of grey blue and gold. #vermontstudiocenter
Goodbye Studio Goodbye Room Goodbye Friends Goodbye Houdini (okay, that didn’t rhyme) Leaving tomorrow, thankful for this time and space, but most thankful for everyone here 💖
Gorgeous day here and the pussy willows are beginning to bloom.
I just saw an Easter ad so it's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter....
Decided to enjoy the sunshine today. Drove around and photographed covered bridges.
