A beautiful, tumbling, churning essay by my Pal Maud Casey: Missing the Point of Everybody nereview.com/vol-43-no-2-20… via New England Review

Trying to find James Agee's list of projects for his Guggie application. Anyone? It begins: "I am working on, or am interested to try, or expect to return to, such projects as the following. I shall first list them, then briefly specify a little more about most of them..."

Hi The Independent would you mind editing or removing this Facebook post, it suggests I’m the person in question and frankly the comments are disgusting.

When mike albo finished his MFA in poetry at Columbia he felt so buried in frustration and debt that instead of reading his poems at the graduation ceremony he sang “The Last Day of Our Acquaintance” a cappella.

Reading from #AnotherDimensionofUs in Ditmas Park this wednesday with these kewl folks. Readings at bars are always optimal. 8pm Dec 20. @DitmasLit

1) Hello this is a PSA (Is there a hashtag for “I Was On Hold for 5 Hours so You Dont Have To Be”?)

2) it is niche: anyone out there who is mired in student loan debt and recently may have applied to the SAVE program. (If you dont owe student loans that plague every day of your life, no need to read further.

3) Congratulations feel free to go back to you lovely debt free lives. Go buy a home or air fryer. But to my comrades who may be in this situation like me: Don’t freak out. The entire system is taking forever and your IDR application is (apparently) still being processed

4) none of the information on the various portals (your old loan servicer, StudentAid. Gov, your new loan serivcer) is matching up.

5) “It’s the first time in three years, everyone is processing,” said the very sharp and quick to respond person I finally talked to after putting my phone on speaker for a total of 4.5 hours. Since the pause has ended for many borrowers, the services are inundated.

6) Whether or not my application is approved remains to be seen, so who knows? As my comrades know, this whole thing can make your stomach plunge, every time, so I am hoping I can spare you from the day of panic i had. Also Nel Net is a good drag queen name.

Happy book birthday to Another Dimension of Us. Thank u deeply for reading. Thank u Penguin Teen and Penguin Workshop for being amazing grandparents. Thank u @eleereads for being the best editor ever. Thank u spirit guides for giving me the fury and fuel to sit down & write it.

RIP, Poet Lyn Hejinian! Thank you for your beautiful work that changed my life and how I perceive moments, moment by moment. “Some are crystal, some have membranes, but moments are bubbles drifting up, many go up at once.”
