and by craft i mean unruly interiority, a flirty gay deity, conversations with friends, arguments with institutions, inventories within restless, an Idea here & there, what's in my bag, a glue stick, an eyelash, painterly detours, björk, and thirst

Been admiring the work of the poetry editors at The Rumpus for years, hyped to share new work as part of NaPoMo, from my *gulp* new project.

This poem circles around displacement, data, and finding my late grandfather in a certain monolith’s “mapview.”

Interns at VT English learn, like we all do, 'How to Pivot'. In addition to our extensive editorial work, we teach students about small press publishing & give them opportunities to participate. We are still raising money due to losses from SPD's closure: gofundme.com/f/support-noem…

Love the World or Get Killed Trying, by my brilliant friend Alvina Chamberland, is out now with Noemi Press and 100% lives up to its fabulous cover (Irish book sellers, stock this book plz!)

In 2014, I entered the Noemi contest while pregnant. Carmen took a chance on me for the Akrilica series. For me, a debut poet, they gave my book space for visual experiments and full color photos. This is why indie presses matter. Support Noemi Press: gofundme.com/f/support-noem…

Yay! Whatever happens, this is a win for everyone who has built a literary career with small presses...(many are struggling now with what happened to SPD). Please donate to Noemi if you can.

In the aftermath of SPD’s closure, we Noemi is still putting together the damage done. As we fight to find our stock and get answers, it’s clear the financial hit has been big. Noemi is asking for your support during this difficult time. gofundme.com/f/support-noem…

Like hundreds of other small presses, we are reeling from the sudden closure of SPD. We rely on our distributor, and to be suddenly without one leaves us in a perilous place. We love our community and are asking for your help.

Executive Director Sarah Gzemski spoke to Literary Hub about our experience with SPD. Since this interview, we’ve been able to get more accurate numbers, indicating our shortfall is about $12,000, which is part of why we are fundraising now. gofundme.com/f/support-noem…
