"A field never mourns/ what weather carries off."

A good poet often has to work like a dog,🐶, determined, focused. So a gift for the poet-dog (may not be suitable for all ages, tax+shppg xtra).

Me after my poems are published in dozens of countries across six continents:

This is funny 😂

None of this is real.

Journal: Send us your most innovative work! Me: Here is the break-up letter i sent to the old general who lived down the street and didn’t know I existed Journal: Ah. Well, we don’t accept hybrid forms. Me: It’s not a hybrid. It is a lie. 💯

a collaborative poem I guess !

Glad to have found homes for four poems in Blood+Honey bloodhoneylit.com/poetry/cazden-…

I'd somehow missed this, but my daughter is back with some art in ACM ! anotherchicagomagazine.net/2025/09/04/hun…

I read this wonderful poem with a light light touch by Cammy Thomas (who I can't find on here) in Baltimore Review . Inspired me to do something similar with a poem abt my grandmother. baltimorereview.org/summer_2025/co…

I corresponded with Lyn Lifshin for a short time when I was an editor. rattle.com/honeysuckle-by…

rly I thought I knew generally, all about being a writer, but social media really taught me this. I think the poets I knew (including one XJ Kennedy prize winner) downplayed this aspect in person.

yes. one way or another. i know a very good writer who turns his failed poems into atypical essays.

I don't know why I think this is so funny...wikihow.com/Write-Prose-Po… Now I learned how to buy 4 avacados at once and ripen them sequentially over a period of two weeks from wiki-how, so I don't see why i can't write a prose poem. 🥑🥑🥑🥑.
