Issue Eighteen of Variant is now live! variantlit.com/issue-eighteen/
#CoverReveal!!! Coming this September, Earthly Gods by Jessica Nirvana Ram ✨ This is a book about expectations and the search for the definition of holy. Preorders to open soon. Cover Design by Hafsa Khan 😍
Behold! The fifth volume of @RevoluteLit is now live! BIG thanks and joy to all contributors and staff. We are thrilled to share this work as well as a feature interview with @AlisonCRollins !!! :) revolutelit.com
We're aiming to publish issue 18 next week-ish AND THEN the mag will take a two month hiatus during which we will reconsider our model for social media, nominations, the press distribution model, finances, and the mag pub frequency.
Well this is going to be a shitshow. The hardest thing to handle as a small press is distribution, and how distributors function, and the schedule by which they pay. SPD folding overnight is going to cost presses you love money. Good time to order a book directly from your favs.

Was too preoccupied yesterday to remember it was Missy’s birthday until this morning. Happy Belated 43rd, Missy. I wish you were here and these poems were about something else.
Such a pleasure to be in conversation with @whiteside_jim for @adroitjournal. We talked Pentimento, ekphrasis, loneliness, and the life of the poet. Thank you, Jim, for this conversation! theadroitjournal.org/issue-forty-ni…

OMGGGG😭🫶🏽 Super grateful and excited to have been accepted into @LambdaLiterary’s retreat with full scholarship!!!! I can’t wait to work with other queer creatives✨ and acclaimed author Darcie Little Badger <333
Yesterday was such a filling, reviving day spent with community and loved ones. These brilliant and kind poets broke me open—I feel a new and sustaining grace for my writing, I feel possible. Thank you, @pswordwoman , for the invitation to speak with your wonderful students.
I'd never met or heard @miriadwords. But I read a few devastating poems online and invited her to my class. Just a hunch. And she floored us all. Wiped us out. If you are not about her @writebloody book "Built By Storms," be about it. Hit the reset button. Start your life over.
sitting here in gratitude for @EugeniaLeigh and @sheer_awe for their generosity and insight and willingness to speak with me tonight, what a joy it is to live amongst poets like them
I GOT INTO LAMBDA LITERARY WRITERS RETREAT! LET’S GO! 🙌🏽🎉
THESE POETS: @_jaysonpsmith, @miriadwords, @jasonbcrawford, @_joseolivarez, @ToosieWatson, @haolun1,@catwei,@NaomiExtra,@BreezyJanae, @jeffmcdaniel13, @SAMCHASTORY. You were just what my students needed. You astounded them. They loved you. Thank you for loving them.
thanks everyone, it’s looking like this was a false alarm brought on by maybe overdoing some working out/playing with my kid and higher than normal Doom Thoughts
some unexpected pains in my chest, at the ER, probably fine
things are back to normal in the Dillard household by which I mean my 8 year old very seriously warned me I was about to hear strange sounds then proceeded to play squirrel mating calls on my wife’s phone so she could draw squirrels better
Two of my poems in the new American Poetry Review
Heyyyyy my poem "The Problem is Oxygen" was a finalist for the @Poetry_Society's Emily Dickinson Award this cycle! Big thanks to judge @tawandamulalu and congrats to winner Trace Howard DePass ❤️❤️
