Curriculum Vitae (My Family's Restaurants) This was the poem I tried to fit it all in. It grew into the book that is my current project, but wow so much of these visuals made the jump the memoir.

NEW AUDIO—> Hear me read the cornerstone of my book of restaurant poems. This is my family’s CV. This isn’t the whole story, but it’s a good start.

Tomorrow! New Review of the 20th anniversary edition of Richard Siken's @richard-siken.bsky.social "Crush" from @yalepress.bsky.social

substack.com/@seanjbates

Also the anniversary edition afterword has me thinking about being a needy little reader and time as and the wildness of watching one's work find new and different times and new and different readers. That afterword was as thought provoking as the poems, especially as a teacher.

Finished "Crush" by @richard-siken.bsky.social

Wow. I get it now.

Review coming Tuesday.

If you're heading to Gama next week, stop by the Buried Giant booth (#1049). And, if you're there early, you can come find me at a few events I'll be helping with during the education summit (little schedule 🧵) @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social

The Ethos of Eephus The Meaning of Games That End

I’m too sad to write any Sunday Feeld Notes today because hockey broke my heart. If it broke yours, maybe read this instead to remind us that the beauty of sports exists outside of the spotlight.

What a good blizzard book? #booksky

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

The Ethos of Eephus The Meaning of Games That End

The Ethos of Eephus

Eephus sees sport not as a cultural commodity, but a community engagement, and the simplicity of its framing [...] finds the beauty in the relationship baseball has not just to its participants and onlookers, but the landscape of the country.
