'[Kate Mulvaney's] connection to the white deer, the love and care she gave it, made her human and motherly to me in ways that showed tenderness and connection instead of loneliness and mystery.' Jack Bedell discusses his chapbook All the Woods’ Wild spkofmarvels.wordpress.com/2023/02/13/jac…

“He spoke to himself more than anyone else, in frail
Bangla—like he found a gem in his mind, once forgotten
for years—hidden in dirt. …”

Already checked in on this on another site, but I can’t let the day pass on here without birthday wishes and much gratitude for everything Alina Stefanescu does for this community! 🙌🏻🎂🙌🏻

This was such a blast!!! 👇🏻

“Light, dark, straight lines, open angles,
curves we all know are there, just
out of view: these build the chord

you strike. …”

Just broke a core personal guideline. Close friend posted a pic of a snake on FB asking what kind it was. Scrolled through all the wrong comments from other dudes. Absolutely could not stop myself from setting them all straight. Feeling so trashy now for not refraining myself…😔

Back home and admiring Louisiana poet Jack Bedell's gorgeous new collection, Ghost Forest. Here's a taste:
