I get it, rejections are part of the game. But it does make me feel better in the moment to just let out a silent little 🖕 into the aethers when I get one. It's how I cope.
Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer Derek Thompson @DKThomp What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

From now on, I am not submitting my poems. I am asserting them. Who is accepting assertions right now?

Drop a crush from your youth.
Certain numbers accompany us through our lives, connected to our memories of people and places, of significant events. What numbers remain with you decades later? And why?
This poem is taken from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection...
Yes.
This story is so good! 💔
TWO UNSIGNED POEMS BY CHILDREN IN PIQUA, OHIO David Shevin I. I was a rabbit who could hop the farthest. I was a girl who had long hair. II. I dream of you and so on I can’t believe it

A quote from Hannah Arendt against a dark teal background. The text reads: 'Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it. Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition.' northseapoets.com. The North Sea Poets logo is in the bottom right corner.
– Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

The violence of women's Healthcare. Oof. Keep going this is gold.
To continue is not what you imagined.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
— The Epicurean Paradox
Delighted to have a poem in the TIDAL LIGHT issue of @cosmicdaffodil.bsky.social! 🌊

I’m a day late for #smallpoemsunday but it’s my friend Isaac’s birthday and I like to think about a poem he wrote when he was 16 or 17. Isaac died in 2008 but would have been 47 today
Or how about something that looks like a spare part from a Cessna?
Also this???
When did residential ceiling fans start looking so weird? We need to replace one in our house and I'm like: WTF is this?
Ditto! Glad you found me on here! Hope to read or hear YOU read more of your wonderful work sometime in the near future.
THANK YOU to Ariel Basom for hosting last night's Collections reading at Hugo House. And to the other great writers: James Keith Smith, @riverhallpoet.bsky.social, Rosa Singer, Isla McKetta, Sara Ramos-Amador, Jalyn Renae Fiske, and Hoard Explorer. I feel lucky to have been among such great writers!
I am not sure that I have ever felt so disappointed in so many people as I do right now.
Those I seem to be the least disillusioned with are fellow poets and artists. Thank you for seeing the world so clearly, in all its fantastic and devastating realness. It's hard to hold it all, I know.
If you’re in the Seattle area, I’ll be reading at Third Place Books Seward Park tonight as part of the release of Campfire Stories: San Juan Islands, edited by Dave & Ilyssa Kyu and published by Mountaineers Books. 7-8p.
Join us!

Last time I felt this way was September 12th 2001.
I usually hate September. But this is next level. Guys, I am not ok. Like. I don't know what I feel right now. It's a massive shift.
Terror. I think it's terror. The kind that's slow and paralyzed and helpless. Abandoned on a beach, nowhere to run, and a tsunami pulling the water out to the ocean.
