American Weather is here and it is beautiful. It is an artist book (letter-pressed, risographed, hand-stitched); it is collaboration with the artist Corie Cole; it is my categorization of gun violence as a sort of American weather, and refusal to accept it as so.

Thank you Burnside Review for giving my daybook a home among your wonders! Chrome of Iris, will be bound and pressed this spring.

And here's "Nocturne."

It is such an honor to be included here, on a treasure site I've long used and loved. Here's "This Picture Was Born When A. Wyeth Climbed Out on the Weathered Roof of Henry Teel's House."

I am grateful to the Poetry Foundation for getting permissions for these poems, so that they might find new readers through them. Here's "[The Chapter of the Rending in Sunder]."

It was an honor to write this, about gun buybacks, for The Georgia Review. "A seventy-something turned in his Uzi. There were the grandparents who didn’t want grandkids to find theirs. My wife killed herself with this gun, a man told the people who work the buybacks. I was going to commit suicide, and this was the tool. I found these biking on my way to school. One cut, two cuts, three."

I am entirely inspired by the name and vision of The School For Living Futures and am happy to be teaching a speculative fiction workshop for them this fall. Join me!

Are parties a genre? I have been throwing DIY, micro-granting moveable feasts since 2017. This was the first one since COVID, and Rocky Mountain PBS showed up to film, a gift.

Nice to find my third notable in The Best American, this time for "Is the First Technological Question the Question of Nipples?"

"So We Can Say Goodbye," a found essay, an epistolary essay, an elegy, an ur-letter, an experiment, is in good company in the winter (print only) edition of Allium.

"What sort of touch would you experience as a peasant in the year 900 in the Kingdom of Burgundy on a windy day in June?" now online from the beautiful winter edition of The Georgia Review

A new arts+letters print magazine made by an old friend from an old letters+arts print magazine, and I am happy to be in it. Loonbeek, looking pretty! Of Porto, Portugal.

Happy to be in the Winter 2021 issue of The Georgia Review with a new essay, "Is the First Technological Question the Question of Nipples?"

I'm co-curating Mountain Fold Book's inaugural reading series. The other night a number of young deaf poets performed work in ASL, without English translation. As Marina Eckler said, it was "absolutely radiant." Read our event schedule here:

I'm so grateful for Daneen Bergland's brilliant attention to Hey Folly in Propeller Magazine.

A "living review" of Hey Folly by Andy Stallings.

Here's my letter to the editors of Thermos about putting together Hey Folly.

I've got writing up every day this week on the log for Thermos Magazine. Thank you, Thermos!

An excerpt from points 121-22 made their way over to "The Short Form," a most beautifully designed site. Look at that type!

"It Startles" is up at Verse Daily.

In Defense of the Dumb Phone, part the second, in which I try to call your bot:
