Thank you Academy of American Poets ! Love to see EXPLODING HEAD on the Poetry Month Reading List with so many other fabulous books and authors.

Like so many other small presses, Black Lawrence Press
is devastated by the sudden closure of Small Press Distribution which leaves us and hundreds of other small presses to grapple with logistical nightmares and financial peril.

Since this tweet, over 260,000 lives have been lost to guns. It’s an election year, and it’s time to reignite our rage. To channel it to drive actual and lasting change. Let’s show candidates that gun violence is still a key issue for American voters. #RepostYourRage …

What a lovely evening at Arts+LiteratureLab celebrating our new Poet Laureate of Madison, WI - Steven Espada Dawson 🍉. Congrats!
Also, readings from Chessy Normile and our previous Madison Poet Laureate Angela C. Trudell Vasquez.
And cake!

This is amazing, Donna Vorreyer ! 📚 ❤️✨ Yes, do take a break!

Thank you so much for reading and recommending Exploding Head, Caroline Hagood. And love to see it next to the fabulous Sarah Kain Gutowski (she, her, hers)'s The Familiar (which I was lucky enough to blurb!) ✨✨

Trees in conversation.

Ack! Yes! I keep saying Exploding Head is a 'memoir in prose poems' for this very reason... it's poetry, but the poems aren't meant to be read separately, or out of order. 😰🫣 I have no idea what people who read it out of order would think I was trying to do... 🫠

Thank you Sara Moore Wagner for your kind words about Exploding Head. Readers feeling seen because of these poems makes me feel seen, in turn! And less alone. Thank you. ❤️

Thank you for sharing this poem from Exploding Head! 💥📕

My essay is online at The Sun magazine, and I promise it journeys toward joy and sparkle, but first I had to walk through the darkness of #ocd and a terrifying car accident that took the shine off Metallica's 'Enter Sandman.' Act II courtesy #AdamLambert . thesunmagazine.org/news/the-beast…

psssst poets make the best essayists.

❤️🪽 🥲 Thank you, Lisa.

Americans should not have to live in constant fear of gun violence: not at a Super Bowl victory parade, or anywhere else.

As we mark 6 years since the mass shooting in Parkland, my heart goes out to Kansas City. We’re with you, and we'll never stop fighting to end gun violence.

The true story of vanquishing an angel from my bedroom with the power of poetry (or, at least, the power of speaking our fears out loud).

This angel appears in my collection of OCD prose poems, Exploding Head, and the essay is in Literary Hub. 🤍🪽

We all know @cynthiamhoffman is an incredible poetic force, but the grace & thoughtfulness with which she talked about OCD, poetry, and EXPLODING HEAD on @wpr--it's a must-listen + with a surprise hello from the current Wisconsin Public Laureate too!
