Not a day goes by that I don't wish I was a fast(er) reader. Anybody else?

New sonnet with references to Cairokee & Ziad. Don’t say we escaped, just that we too failed.

My gratitude to G. Calvocoressi for giving this one a home in Southern Cultures

Following Camonghne Felix the cascade of withdrawals from the PEN awards is not in vain. What is an award worth when a good number of the best identified books are no longer in the running? It speaks loud when many of the writers together have made this choice.

We have a winding, spellbinding poem from Lauren Camp up at The Rumpus today, continuing our National Poetry Month series. You can read 'Plot Summary' at the link below. Enjoy and share!

When they eat the Palestinian's liver before he's even dead

When the sun itself has no other purpose than being a shroud

j. cole isn't too mature for a song called 'hide your bitch.' his soul can live with that.

but a battle is a bridge too far.

but i'm trippin.

I wake up & it breaks my heart.

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…

That little East Coast earthquake woke the baby up from a nap smh

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…

Natasha is extremely dope. Help her out a bit if you can. Also, it's well past time someone HIRED her!

My heart hurts for this store.
