Digital broadside of a poem by Jory Mickelson in ballast issue 3.4. Black text on light pink background with black curly line on right side. Text of poem reads “So maybe a hotel room's really a pastoral. It's all there right on the surface. So, pastoral with comforter & pillow. Pastoral with telephone on the nightstand. Pastoral with stranger's pubic hair on the gleaming toilet seat.”

✨Contributor Features from ballast 3.4✨

Here’s Jory Mickelson @poetryphone.bsky.social with “[Sometimes a hotel room]”

Happy to see my poem in print over at broadkill review in their summer issue, just in time for Warhol's birthday.

Warhol's first Pop Art paintings appeared in 1961 in the department store windows of Bonwit Teller. Warhol's paintings served as a backdrop to mannequins dressed in the latest fashions.

I've been pretty quiet here as the world has been so loud lately.

How are you caring for yourself right now?

Hurrah!

thank you.

I have two poems in the new Washington State Queer Poetry Anthology. Thank you to Arianne True the former WA State Poet Laureate for putting this project together.

It’s always sad when an old friend passes, back in the day we used to write to each other weekly. I loved getting his free-flowing & reminiscing dispatches from Paris. Good night Edmund ❤️
