For @tomsnarsky.bsky.social 's #smallpoemsunday this gem from Mark Leidner's new book Elegy for Pangaea

This is a classic thing a ghost would say FYI

I reviewed Learning by Courtney Bush, a book that shows you that maybe children are relatable and wise and adults are the silly geese. (Not the psyop) open.substack.com/pub/zonamote...

For the early nothing weekend set. I didn't set out to review this book originally, but found that it elicited such a strong emotional reaction in me that I wanted to write about it to investigate that. This review is the result.

For the London contingent -- this Zona Motel reading in a couple weeks should be by all measures excellent. Featuring Iphgenia Baal, Lucy K Shaw, Paul Johnathan, @poppycockburn.bsky.social, and me

Wow all star cast out here today

Everything is going great

The way I RAN to get my ereader. Get in loser we're reading Bazterrica this weekend

Guess this makes sense, it being Asexual Hardware and all

We need to send her after Gummi

This Tom Toro cartoon is old already (2012) yet feels more relevant each day!

Gruel for fuel (prepared without love). Reddit remains the best

Even poets get these AI-written marketing scam emails, but they don't even pretend to have read the book 😂 honestly, a nice touch, makes it more realistic

I'm thrilled to be doing this workshop in about a week and a half with @poetshouse.bsky.social. Come hang out, read, & write. Let's figure out together how not to let capitalism ruin poetry 💎✨️🍕 poetshouse.org/event/worksh...

Of course James Van Der Beek is iconic in many roles but this Ke$ha music video is one of my favorite things he did. He seemed like a lot of fun. youtu.be/CFWX0hWCbng?...

Like me on aol in 1996

Re-sharing this today! I wrote about an emerging millennial poetics of work, as represented through three great poetry books. fencedigital.com/2026/01/30/c...

For #smallpoemsunday, from i Was Working by Ariel Yelen

Oh good

Just watching old Tori videos for the free therapy. Top comment got it right

This is going well so far

AWP heard I was thinking about not paying their fee because the bookfair is the only fun part anywayz, and was like "hold my beer"

Ariel Yelen, "Revolution" from the book I WAS WORKING

Did I already share this, from @ginabird.bsky.social 's book WORKS AND DAYS? A book full of anticapitalist bangers

Rosalie Moffett, "Happy," from the book Making a Living

Treasure trove arrived from @princetonupress.bsky.social ✨️

Pretty sure I saw Satan's car today

Update: this book is really good. Lit crit & political history combo and well written to boot. In the preface, Reade recalls an illuminating moment whilst teaching PL to his incarcerated students (who loved it while being lukewarm on Shakespeare) that became a catalyst for the book.

This just in: apparently I'm the parent and I can make them go to poetry readings
