Morning field report (Ithaca Falls). Not pictured: a nonchalant blue heron standing below it all.
Pleased to have a new poem (my first abecedarian) in the summer 2026 issue of @nimrodjournal.bsky.social. Gratitude to Boris Dralyuk @bdralyuk.bsky.social for his fine editorial stewardship. Thanks also to my neighbours for giving away such whacky items online, which first inspired the poem.
Delighted to have 2 poems in @eventmags.bsky.social. The poetry curation here is so thoughtful: work in conversation about homes that are the body & house & Earth. With a fabulous Lorna Crozier poem that begins “Feet are the whole shebang.” Many thanks to Poetry Editor @raoulfernandes.bsky.social.
A poem that makes me want to stop writing poems — but also to keep going, and steadfastly. Niedecker tends to have this effect on me.
Coming up next week at Montreal’s Librairie Paragraphe Books! Thurs, May 21, 5 to 7 pm. Looking forward to reading with fellow local poet Stephanie Bolster and visiting poet Rhea Tregebov @rheatregebov.bsky.social. Thanks to the League of Canadian Poets @canadianpoets.bsky.social for its support.
Field report: magnolias doing that fleeting thing they do that disrespects all pain and suffering. ;)
Hosting this poetry reading tomorrow night at Argo Books, Montreal’s oldest English-language bookstore. I’ve loved spending time with these writers’ gorgeous time- and place-spanning poems in recent weeks.
An audacious & moving debut book of poetry by @mishasolomon.bsky.social
