Two new #poems in petrichor today: a post-Hispanic Sonnets Hispanic sonnet and a catalog poem that sees me clearer than the rest. A privilege. Happy Nat'l Poetry Month. Write the dang thing. petrichormag.com/27-alex-z-sali…

The other day, Little Eva's 1962 "The Loco-Motion" played. I thought about #Pynchon's 1963 V. I thought about last summer, how after a two-year slugfest, I finished Gravity's Rainbow. I thought: Surely he's got one more in him. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/316427/s…

Barnes & Noble San Pedro in SATX is all class. Once again met a lot of beautiful readers, one of whom drove an hour and a half just for this. If this gets old, you're doing it wrong.

Reading poems alongside & in conversation with Carmen Calatayud (my FlowerSong Press mate) at The Twig was the most fun. Volleying poets are the best poets.
