Perhaps the most radical and daring organization in Seattle. The Seattle Zoo: They don't allow dogs at ZooTunes concerts. Thank you Seattle Zoo.
17 Pilgrimages. The concierge wouldn’t let me up, but I was able to channel history outside on Broadway. If you listen closely at the 0:31 mark, you hear a car from the street below honking, making its way into the mix w/ Goodman & Eldridge as they trade solos. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
I imagine Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner also wouldn’t have been surprised to learn that she lost the race to a man whose presidency at base is all about undoing the civil rights movement and erasing any record of its history. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
Poetry Update: I'm excited to report that my poem "Revolutionary Airport" has been shortlisted for Ink & Ribbon Press' LemonLight Poetry Prize. The winners will be announced in early August.

The solution to safety on public transit. Ridership. Loving the late-night crowds on Metro.
Something is happening where nothing is happening. This is the koan on my block. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
Not sure if it's a metric, but Wilson is the first Seattle mayor in memory who seems to enjoy (or even have a blast!) being mayor. www.instagram.com/p/DWAPgiNgXF...
Here's ECB on our socialist mayor's speech yesterday in the heart of traditional enemy territory publicola.com/2026/03/12/m...; Wilson spoke to Seattle's capitalist class at the Downtown Seattle Association shindig. The real indictment of the economy was happening on the 1st floor, tho. Empty.
And so, I’ve come to think of short blocks as enjambed lines of poetry where one block leads you to the next and the rush of surprises you’ll find there. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
I used to be fond of telling my news team "There are no metaphors, only results." But I was wrong: There are metaphors, there are. (And results too it would seem.) @ericacbarnett.bsky.social, @Jonah Spangenthal-Lee
... And the @nytimes.com shows its willingness to continue to make a fool of itself. The FBI search doesn't "show" Trump's "willingness to..." blah blah blah. Trump is pursuing his 2020 grievances. And he's been pursuing them outright since November 2020.
Loved how light rail gate crashed the TV shot during the Australian Open coverage yesterday....
You'd think they'd won a Pulitzer. You guys. Interviewing the president is what you do. It's your job. This fawning over yourselves (and the president) is not classy. Save the navel gazing for your therapist.
First tournament of the year winding down. You'll notice: No Anisimova, no Rybakina, no Andreeva in the late round. But one player always seems to be there. : )
Not sure why everyone is calling this the rematch of the AO Final. That already happened:
Transit Miracle: The conductor on the Amtrak train from Providence to Moynihan Hall at Penn Station pronounced Moynihan as 1 syllable.
Yesterday, I said Alex Dimitrov's Ecstasy was my favorite poetry book of 2025. That may have been a case of recency bias. Earlier in the year, there was Andrea Cohen's exceptional the Sorrow Apartments. You can read my review here www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
Year in Review time. My favorite poetry book of 2025 was Alex Dimitrov's Ecstasy. You can read my review here, scroll down to item 2. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/.../america-....
The leading right hand melody capitalizes on the sudden pop construction of the left hand accompaniment: A modified blues scale that stops short of reaching the traditional flatted (bluesy) VII note. That right hand? It goes all in on ascension... www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...
