Major props to the journal I submitted for sending me a thank you card for submitting! That's how this should be! Now I wait for the rejection! Lol

Tell me it's feeding time without telling me it's feeding time

My 3rd Poetry Against the Machine workshop! Next Thursday!!!!

In one week's time! I'm teaching a workshop on one of my favorite forms of poetry! Blackout poetry!

Found this random book of poetry in a used bookstore in Cortez, CO. Very intriguing find. Only 150 existed in 1983. I suspect far fewer of these wonderfully bound beauties remain today. Can't wait to read it

Set up my #OutoftheDarkness team early this year! Join the team or help us meet our fundraising goal to support mental health services and suicide prevention afspwalks.donordrive.com/participant/...

Reminder! This event with @cavar.bsky.social and me and Topaz Winters is coming up in New York's one and only Bushwick at Hivemind Books! Come on throooooooooough RSVP here: hivemindbooks.com/events/51719...

At work, I post weekly quotes I find that bring positivity without being hallmark emptiness. #johnkoethe

Finally found a book that contains "Factory" by Antler and it didn't cost me 150 like the solo book is. Can't wait to get this tomorrow!

Show me a good political poem and I'll show you a quiet conversation

Reading at this Open Space event. If you happen to be in Albuquerque first weekend in May, come on by!

I am confident my poetry is better than it was 2 years ago. But I still find paying $20 to gamble on a contest is a tough pill to swallow.

Sometimes you need a break from #AWP2026

TONIGHT, BALTIMORE! #AWP2026 7-9pm 🎉🎉🎉

Someone recommend some great underrated poetry books that are at #AWP2026! I (don't) need MORE before I leave tomorrow

I want to be more immersed in the poetry world. Working a non-writer job makes that painfully hard.

I adore satire! It has the ability to make chaos digestible, horror palatable, torture tactile, and life bearable.

Can't wait for #AWP2026! Going to catch up with some many friends!

Had one of my K poems picked up! You can read it here from Double Dutch: www.doubledutchmagazine.com/issue-2-k-wa...

This administration is now actively going to war without congressional approval to topple a 2nd regime with assistance from a genocidal country. Can't wait for history to paint us what we are.

The old are getting younger and I don't think I appreciate it.

How we still ourselves by instilling those we love; how we seek nature through its destruction and because of it and against it.

Book of Extraction: Poems with Teeth! one of our first books, and most loved. Adrian's lament for this teeth, and the price he's paid to keep them, keeps striking a nerve. @adrianf.bsky.social kithbooks.com/shop

I can't recall what I opened the fridge for but I can recite the 1st verse to Ice Ice Baby and Nightmare On My Street like it was 1994. I'm not proud of my accomplishments.

Got to do something with Z that I never got the chance to do with Dad: teach them to tie a tie.

my debut poetry column for the local paper is out today! stratfordcrier.com/poetry-lounge/

Once you are a grain of sand, you are forever known as simply the collective: sand.

Growing old means learning the line for you is so much further over the line than you thought.

Remember that part in The Monkey Wrench Gang where they throw beer cans out the jeep onto the road. I never understood that part til now.
