#Nolasky, don't sleep on Paulie's Deli on Oak St, and don't skip the dessert! The afogatto is holy shit so good.
Cover art for the 2025 issue of "The Vassar Review" with the theme of "Frame and Forgery." Art is "The Skinnydippers" by Anninka Tucksmith: oil on panel showing women (painted blood-red) skinny-dipping in a small body of water, painted in dark greens with a green and gold horizon.
Endless thanks to Vassar Review for this startling and exquisite collection exploring "Frame & Forgery"—and for including my poem "The House on Colbert Street" alongside so many fantastic works of writing and art! I'm hypnotized by this ethereal cover!

A solid video from COGR explaining F&A costs and why cutting them endangers research and limits societal advancement.
Vote NO, New Orleans! #nolasky
Listening to Michael Cerveris and Oskar Eustis at the New Orleans Book Festival healed something in me that had broken. I am perpetually grateful for opportunities that allow me to listen to enthusiastic, dedicated voices who are championing art, theater, poetry, and purpose.
This poem lives in my bone structure, and it's good (important!) to return to these things.
"Because you underline everything you read, and circle / the things you think are important, and put stars next / to the things you think I should think are important, / and write notes in the margins about all the people / you’re mad at and my name almost never appears there."
—Matthew Olzmann
"National Science Foundation staffing cuts and proposed National Institutes of Health grant limits will combine to kneecap scientific research in the United States for a generation."

"...the mind can understand what the heart cannot endure, and [...] the imagination can find a linguistic shape for the structures of reality, even for those that are most tragic." —Helen Vendler, "Poems, Poets, Poetry"
Just made my daily calls to my reps. If you're nervous about talking to someone, you can leave voicemails in the early mornings, late evenings, or on weekends!
Whatever else may be true, communicating your displeasure is better than *not* communicating your displeasure.

**NEW CALL** Demand your reps work to reverse the Trump admin's decision to cut NIH and NSF funding!
These cuts will cause an immediate and massive funding shortfall at research institutions nationwide, forcing layoffs and jeopardizing critical scientific research.

"More and more, it's the obvious that turns mysterious on us." –Marianne Boruch, "Poetry's Over and Over"
As a phone-anxious introvert who once worked as a newspaper reporter making daily phone calls, I've learned that having a basic script for a call helps mitigate my anxiety.
5calls.org made calling my reps a breeze. The interface helped it feel like a game, despite the seriousness of our situation.
Daiquiris acquired, pizza and wings ordered, ready for the Tale Gate! #CriticalRole

LOUISIANA PEOPLE!
I need you to call Senator Dr. Bill Cassidy, telling him to NOT confirm RFK Jr for Health Secretary.
He’s a swing vote!
It took 40 seconds of my time to call. I left a voicemail. His staff tallies the calls.
He’s a vote that can be flipped:
- he’s a doctor
- pro-vaccine🧵
A morning of poetry submissions and household chores followed by an afternoon of drinking beer and looking at trees does not *combat* the panic and dread, by any means—but it doesn't make it worse!
A promotional graphic for a review of Audi Locus. At the top, bold text reads: "A review of Audi Locus Volume 1, Issue 1." Below, a centered quote from Julie Elise Landry states: "Audi Locus reckons with the travails of existence—and in response, it defends the triumph of the attempt, any attempt, to step forward." Above the quote, there is a small, circular profile picture of Julie Elise Landry. The layout is balanced, with a professional yet inviting aesthetic.

You're not wrong—but this only increases the likelihood that someone observing me will think Something Is Wrong™️. I am fairly certain I unnerved a lady who just wanted to tend to her post-snowstorm plants. 😅🤣
