I felt like I handled the Alice Munro news yesterday reasonably well but instead I just literally shrieked and sobbed at my therapist this morning. Love to all daughters today.

my prediction for the next Supreme Court term is they reverse Marbury v Madison, bam, we are a parliamentary government baby all of it is on the table at this point i’m also taking odds on Scalia coming back from the grave to write an opinion that just literally sets fire to all national parks

Someone please explain to LitHub that there is truly no poem I wish to read less than a poem by Frederick Seidel called 1937.

He looks just like my racist uncle Anthony right after 15 or so Yuenglings and a plate of my aunt’s kielbasa and kraut, which is to say every day

I’m really, really proud of Of Poetry, and the conversation happening here among poets, parents, teachers, and art organizers 💙🎙️

Of haiku prompts, of parent poetics and caregiving, of creating the community spaces that meet the community’s needs, of environment & microplastics & birdless skies & writing into your life—! ofpoetrypodcast.com/2024/05/24/e...

Do wealthy people think they own our eyes too?

An independent judiciary does not seek to undermine democratic elections and yet here we are

I keep trying to write a poem called Taking Off Billy Collins' Clothes but it turns out it's Billy Collins all the way down.

A Texas judge blocking fair lending rules tells you everything you need to know about Texas judges. This is the same judge who blocked FDA regs concerning mifepristone. The agenda is not “conservative interpretation.”

2/10 Since SPD bombed, how about a list of presses that would love it if you bought books from them rn? I haven’t read any from @riverriverbooks.bsky.social (yet), but @hanvanderhart.bsky.social & @amorak.bsky.social care about the right things riverriverbooks.org

Since SPD bombed, how about a list of presses that would love it if you bought books from them rn? These are just presses I have liked before. Let’s start with @gameoverbooks.bsky.social , who is publishing my beloved @bobsykora.bsky.social ‘s book next year: www.gameoverbooks.com

Game Over Bookswww.gameoverbooks.com Poetry. Fiction. Nonfiction. Your new favorite publisher: Game Over Books.

Spaghetti on Cowboy Carter opens with a sample of someone talking about how slippery genre is. Anyone know who is speaking/where the recording comes from?

Some Gogol-esque part of my writer soul is wryly amused that my anti-capitalist little book is now in limbo because Small Press Distribution has been forced out of business

From where I’ve sat for the past 20 years, distribution has always been the hardest part of publishing; it’s only gotten harder in the wake of mass consolidation. SPD was clearly in trouble, but to throw in with Ingram and then close up shop is a nightmare scenario for small indie publishers.

Small Press Distribution just announced its immediate closure and y’all the way this has been handled is SO BAD.

The closure of Small Press Distribution (announced today) is a man-made catastrophe for the arts.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD why are we feigning surprise that he can’t get an appeal fully bonded. He was never gonna get this appeal fully bonded. Insurance companies are not stupid. Evil. But not stupid.

What if instead of relying on billionaires to buy struggling media outlets we just, like, taxed them and used the money to provide grants to independent journalists - like a WPA, but for news and information?
