whenever I don’t know if a poem is working or not I ask “is this interesting” and if it’s not I add a horse, this is what MFAs mean by voice, it’s the horse you add
Having followers and friends is like the difference between sex and love
i'm not the angel of history. time to stop pretending. i am a self-obsessed writer with the side profile of my ancestors
I'm in that mood where I don't know whether to name drop or a personal despair (the two are unrelated lol)

A haunting poem by Kaylee Young-Eun Jeong @kayleeyjeong
Honored to have co-edited this book on Black Arts poet Tom Postell. In his life Tom published 4 poems in some of the prominent Black Arts mags. My co-editor found hundreds of typescript pages, many of which we are publishing for the first time. spdbooks.org/Products/97817…
No sleep in the night. Sundays are always depressing. My mood is somewhere between Anne Sexton and John Berryman, fyi

Conduit Magazine @conduitmagazine
7K Followers 196 Following Conduit is a biannual literary journal that is at once direct, playful, inventive, irreverent, and darkly beautiful. Grant-free since 1993. 🇺🇦I just got myself out of a bad mental space by doing an intrusive thought log and I think this is how a Percival Everett novel begins. Hilarious.
Such an honor to have defended my Motherlands in front of @erinbelieu, Kevin Prufer, and Wayne Miller! Thank you all for your encouragement and advice. (Also great patio for smoking.) @Milkweed_Books #maxritvopoetryprize
@WolffAlex108 Also, if you’re interested in the construction of the I-persona, you should take Ehlers class, her History of the Lyric seminar went crazy 🤯
someone told me recently that they hope my mother has now “come around to your lifestyle” which was like, maybe the worst way to word something meant to be supportive lol
watching people go after a "very famous writer" on here like they are the worst gutter trash on the planet just bc they dont agree with their politics and also watching fans defend said writer like rabid swifties bc love or die is really something. fame is hell. thats all i got.
Decline today but somewhat good bc I soon realized my choice of pieces to submit was wrong. Oh, so many rejects are simply bad choices rather than anything else 🤷
Wow
Oberlin library graffiti @richardsiken
I couldn’t ride a bike when I was a kid, so my mom got me a scooter. I remember riding it to my dad’s garage, so excited to show him. His first words were, “Boy, you ain’t gonna get no ass riding a scooter.” Let me tell you, friends, truer words were never spoken. Zero ass.
Yea getting a breakup text from someone when u thought things were going well sucks! I get it!! But when it happens to me I say ‘thanks for letting me know’ and NOT ‘can u explain again what I did wrong’ or ‘I’m spiraling now’ or ‘I wish I could get another shot’ or
@lithub They should return all of the submission fees they collected.
Here’s a poem from my new book that never landed at a journal—but it’s one of my favorites. I think we need more poems about workshops and how strange they can be.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! “Honored” doesn’t cover it..
Fugue sent off our nominations for Best New Poets last week! Head to our website to read “Witch of the East” by Dominique Ahkong (@domkeykong) and “Hot Potato” by Sara Kaplan-Cunningham (@Sarakcunning). Also check them out in Issue 64, coming out next month!
Folks, I finally got a poem in @FrontierPoetry (after multiple attempts) about a time in my life when I thought sex was the answer to my depressive loneliness. "You let him / kiss you and though you try, / you find yourself incapable of love." frontierpoetry.com/2024/04/19/ash…
I have a poem in the new issue of @PoetLoreMag. My thanks to guest editor @lutherxhughes for the love. ❤️
@WolffAlex108 @GhostCityPress @poetjohncompton @justin_karcher Are you sure this isn’t Kucera?
to all my canadian friends and fans! thank you for this honor with making "melancholy arcadia" #2 (i just checked today, i might had even been #1!) canadian link: amazon.ca/melancholy-arc…
Unpopular opinion: the belief that you don’t need to follow any rules to write a good poem has led to more bad poems than good.
