Child as Noble Metalstonecirclereview.com by Lynne Lampe Empty chairs line cracked concrete, watch the sea for miracles. Salt settles on canvas. Waves take sand hostage but only captors return to this beach so wide whales have room to di...

tfw you have a poem in print alongside work by Marge Piercy, Ellen June Wright and other amazing writers. I can’t stop writing about my mama. In LIPS poetry journal, avail frm laurabosspoetryfoundation.org/order-lips. #WritingCommunity #Poetry #MentalHealth #NoStigma

Worth doing! I have a Patreon in mind…

Feeling despair at the world and something that no bullshit made me feel a little better was giving ten bucks to support someone’s work on Patreon. Not that it’s a big deal but being able to go “oh I like this, I want more of this in the world” made me feel like I had .00000001% control of things.

Hey y’all, what’s the difference between trope and cliché? I’m reviewing a novel in a genre I don’t usually read and am trying to discern quality vs personal taste. Thx! #writingcommunity #writer #prose #booksellers

My poem Whale Foam, Sea Honey on today’s @sundresspub.bsky.social blog first appeared in @moistpoetryjournal.bsky.social and came from an April Gibson prompt: What can you do in the belly of a whale? ty Sundress for thee feature—and to all readers. #mentalhealth #poetry #writing sundressblog.com

Did this poem get picked for publication at a great magazine?? Yes, yes it did.

Did I write a bizarre poem about Bradley Cooper's fake Jewish nose inviting people to Sunday brunch at a deli...yes, yes I did...

A post on another app reminded me of a maxim from journalism school graphics class: When in doubt, choose Caslon. What teacher/mentor phrases like that are stuck in your head? #amwriting #poets #writingcommunity

Welp, yesterday I spent 8+ hours cleaning my office. I reorganized bookshelves, traded dog-pee carpet I still loved for a clean rug, moved furniture, etc. Here’s the before and after!

My office is a wreck and I am having trouble getting motivated to straighten it up. Accountability? Consider this the before pic 😉

We received 499 submissions for issue one, which was awesome! However, the number of submissions means we are running late with our responses due to Crab Tales being voluntarily run by one person who also gets bouts of fatigue and has a day job.

What do y’all think—should I move my blog from my website to Substack? Especially interested to hear from those who’ve done that 😉 #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Writers

Your reaction has made writing the review beyond worth it <3 It really is a wonderful collection of poems. The erasure poems are especially fantastic.

This blog post by @mordecaipmartin makes so much sense to my heart—cogent, paced well, beautiful expression of love, caring, and justice. mordecaimartin.net/2023/10/21/t...

Does anyone know who or what organization decided to name champagne-bottle sizes after Biblical kings and conquerors? Info is for a poem. I’ve searched online and can’t find the answer

“Have you split the husk of your own pitiful life open for your child” omg, this poem by Adrie Rose made me gasp. Part of a group that won top prize in Radar Poetry’s contest. www.radarpoetry.com/some-questions

You know we're in a weird place when you can simply post that innocent people should never ever be murdered and you're not entirely sure if you're taking a controversial position or not.

I just. I need non Jews to understand that even their antiZionist Jewish friends probably knows someone who lost a loved one or lost a loved one themselves and they are experiencing the most dogshit pile of conflicting emotions and grief and rage imaginable right now

This is the longer version of the thing I was trying to say, which still is by no means everything I have to say in any direction. Do not try to infer or assume based on what I haven't said.You can ask me questions if you'd like to know. I will answer if I have the energy and am in the mood.

a lot of things are true.open.substack.com the refusal to grasp this is a non-trivial amount of the problem

A @readinstead.bsky.social appreciation thread. Back when I was a poetry co-editor for Barren Magazine, I fell in love w/ an anonymously submitted ekphrastic poem called "The Ray." Once I found out it was by poet Jared Beloff, I devoured every poem of his I could find... barrenmagazine.com/the-ray/
