Delighted that The Deadlands chose to be home to this poem of mine, recounting the evening that set me on my little gothic way. thedeadlands.com/issue-20/shrou…

This heartbreak of a poem by Alina Stefanescu I ran across in Salamander.

How wonderful to live in a world so impossibly big & still so spectacularly small. Last July I sent Katie a link to a Flash Frog call. She was matched with @bbl_brett, who I was lucky to meet last June at Int’l Pynchon Week! Amazing art + amazing writing, I love it so much.

My partner says I have a book problem. I prefer to frame it as a book opportunity.

Not to brag but I actually got a submission in under a chimerical HAD limited call just now, feeling pretty writerish

The Cloaca Box experience is a bit different than the perception box. It also involves MDMA though and an NYT reporter repeatedly whispering, “Daddy” breathlessly in the corner.

An incredible poem by Fiona Benson…

this looks like the cover for a romance about a literary fiction author who agrees to read his neighbor's novel, and he returns it with a note that says she uses the word moist too much and if she doesn't fix it he'll have to spank her, and her next edit has twice as many moists

If I say “it looks October out,” does that make sense? Like do other people “feel” October??

Huge thanks to @ararthurwriter and Full House Literary for this lovely review—and for running a strong, regular reviews section! We need that in the world.

"She ignores the pictures so furiously that when she closes her eyes, she sees neon-fringed negatives of ships cruising choppy orange seas and numinous ruminants munching red grass." Check out this awesome new flash piece by Laura McPherson flyovercountryliterarymagazine.com/2023/06/04/clo…

I’m pumped to be in this anthology, and even more excited to read it after looking at this TOC!

Come on in, the water’s warm and considerably less hateful
