Our ghost recommends this event! Go have fun

So excited about reading next Thursday, April 13th for the opening of the NOLA Poetry Festival festival at Saturn Bar with these cool people!

Code Enforcement, for example, needs to triple its staff and is on pace to spend just 37% of its personnel budget this year

The department couldn't provide a timeline for when it will have the staff to fully enforce renters protections enshrined in the new Health Homes Ordinance

This is the first poem that appears in my new book, Above Ground. I’ve been thinking a lot about the simultaneity of the human experience. How joy sits alongside sorrow. How wonder sits alongside despair. How we carry all of it all at once.

Join us New Orleans folks. This is my first New Orleans reading of the year. I shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to.

My heart. Too emotional and overwhelmed with joy to say all I want to say.

Maybe writers aren’t missing deadlines because of perfectionism and self-perception but because we’re overwhelmed caregivers and workers w/ multiple jobs struggling in systems dominated by the absurd whims of callous billionaires 🧐

Y’all get the chance to vote and there are some familiar names to Dogfish fans!

You might have seen Karisma and Té feature at our show. Both truly spectacular writers. Come on out and see what they’ve been working on, along with Daniel W.K. Lee and our own Cate Root

Once upon a time (the 2000s,) the USPS was not only self-funded requiring NO taxpayer funds to operate, but also made BILLIONS of dollars in Government 'profit'which they call surplus.

Actually a model of government efficiency.

The GOP couldn't have that.

Buy this book!!!

aria آریا ’s first issue as poetry editor of BOAAT is here and I’m so honored to have a new poem, “Bisexual Erasure,” included. READ THE ISSUE. It is brilliant and is centering poems on intimacy and tenderness. 💜🥰
