Stuck in a creative rut? Want a reason to write? Join “Sweet World: A Maureen Seaton Inspired Generative Poetry Workshop” to be inspired. We’ll read Maureen’s poems & write from prompts drawn from them. Most of our two hours is dedicated to writing itself. #poetry #poets #poetrysky #poetrynews

Today, I received my copy of the @poetrysocietynh.bsky.social's Spring 2026 issue of TOUCHSTONE. Kerry’s and my "Respite Villanelle" — a contoured villanelle using Plath's "Mad Girl's Love Song" — is in this issue. #poetrysky #poetrynews #poem #poetry #poets #writers

I’m stoked to have a poem shortlisted for The 2026 @variantlit.bsky.social Poetry Prize! Congrats to my fellow shortlisted peeps!! #poetrysky #poetrynews #poets #poetry

I had my celebratory single class of Prosecco yesterday, but I enjoyed two rounds of oysters. 🤤

Facts are facts!

Today is Nancy Reagan’s birthday, so I’m sharing “The Nancy & Ronnie Show.” Gratitude to Elm Leaves Journal for giving this villanelle a home in 2024. #poetrysky #poem #poetry

The bench & table setup on our front porch is my new favorite spot. Reviewing the packet I put together for my 6/27 @smallharborpub.bsky.social workshop, “In Praise of Badass Women: A Generative Poetry Workshop.” secure.givelively.org/event/small-... #poetrysky #poetrynews #poets #poetry

Here’s my third & final poem that is in the Pride issue of Boudin: The spicy online cousin of The McNeese Review. 🌈 Grateful to Vallie Lynn Watson & the entire Boudin team for all the TLC they gave the Pride issue! #poetrysky #poetrynews #poem #poetry #pride #gaypoetry

MHA homework on the new front porch bench.

Here’s a second poem that is in the Pride issue of Boudin: The spicy online cousin of The McNeese Review. & this one is a collaborative contoured villanelle with Joshua Barnes. 🌈 #poem #poetrysky #poetrynews #Pride #gaypoetry

Honored to have 3 poems featured in the Pride issue of Boudin. I'm grateful for every publication, but seeing my work appear in a queer space is a badge of honor. Here’s one of the poems. I love that I got to include Dorianne Laux in my villanelle. #poetrysky #poetrynews #poem #pride

HelloFresh for the win. 😂 😂 #Pride #PrideMonth
