"Third Summer" by @adamg.bsky.social from his new chapbook Poems to Stage Dive to.
Enjoy the whole of @toddedillard.bsky.social 's masterful, What The Husband Keeps from Issue 20 of Stanchion Magazine. "All this time, I kept it safe. This is how I love you."
The great @brechtdp.bsky.social in Issue 21 of Stanchion Magazine. Enjoy the whole of this beaut. "There aren’t many times in life we truly listen. Some say we only listen once, as a child. Then for the rest of our lives all we do is remember, or try to."
Next book up is a doozy from @kiklodge.bsky.social. you've never experienced anything like this.
I have to reject stuff. A lot of stuff. But it's still kinda cool. I think. And just a tenner. For certain. 92 pages of indie lit greatness every three months. 23 out now. 24 coming soon. 25 at the end of the year. Then I'm done. I've tried really hard and I've cared, maybe too much.
Gonna be up in NYC this weekend with a slew of poetry, an abundance of prose, and a clowder of cat books. Come say hi. Tickets are free and the Governors Island ferry is free before 11am.

Thirty West and Stanchion, out here doing the thing. Josh and I both already soaked in sweat. @thirtywestph.com
Found this GORGEOUS edition of The Girls by Edna Ferber, from 1921(!), while thrifting with my youngest kid a couple of weeks ago. It's what I'm now reading aloud to my wife each night, having wrapped on Sara Lippmann's Hidden River. So rad to be holding a book over 100years old.
I've heard of Wednesday but haven't heard their music. NMH is an all timer. I got to see him many years ago when he reemerged after decades. Incredible, like nothing had changed. Spine tingling stuff. Yeah BCMB is Smiths-y but they take it further, louder, more sexy and fun. So good live!
Well this is the book (and me)! And the label was called MindWalk. Released three vinyl 7" singles and two CDs from '97-'99. Started it after trying my hand at booking hardcore shows in church basements, but that was waaaay too stressful, hoping people would show up so I could pay the bands.
To celebrate her 20th anniversary, get First Kicking, Then Not by @writesloud.bsky.social for just $10 this week & I'll include an I JUST WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING pennant for free. Best deal on the best short story collection about motherhood & womanhood ever. www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...
Congratulations to Amy Goldmacher who, after being on pre-order for a mere 6 days & a full 3 months before its publication date, has had her wildly innovative memoir Terms & Conditions 'go into' a 2nd printing. People are FREAKING OUT about this book. www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...
The Moose Lottery by @real-immirage.bsky.social will be published in 1 week from today! It's still on pre-order and I'm shipping it immediately from my guest bedroom! www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...
Added 5 more bookcases to our apartment yesterday then my wife started reorganizing our books. She was practically glowing with so much joy in doing so. She really misses working in and running bookstores.
Finished reading @saralippmann.bsky.social's new novel Hidden River aloud to my wife this morning, snuggled up in bed, a sleepy, dreamy start to an ordinary weekend day. A stunning achievement, this book, by one of our most talented and giving modern authors. I can't recommend it enough.

For you, America. by @daijmoore.bsky.social, from Stanchion 8 & 20. ..." I stand with you in my mother’s kitchen, holding America face-down. We laugh clean, slick, iridescent bubbles, we two American daughters. We are holy. We have evidence. We do not care for the water that spills."
New poetry from @tracierenee.bsky.social coming at you on Monday morning. Bring a tissue with you.
If Stanchion Magazine has ever meant anything to you, maybe you can help send it out on a high note? Issue 24, the penultimate edition of my lit zine, can be pre-ordered for just $10. Not bad considering I paid everyone in it & no one had to pay a fee to be read www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...
There's a large Aldi produce box with a smaller Aldi box inside it that lives on our kitchen island. There's almost always a cat in it, usually Figgy, but sometimes Pecan squeezes into the portion of the larger box outside the small box. Cats are ridiculous and the greatest and we don't deserve them
