The idgaf face I give folks who offer their unsolicited opinion on my Tesla.

I don’t know what’s worse: Kelly Kapowski dumping Zack for Jeff, or the fact that not enough of y’all read Jan Beatty.

A poem for my daughter and your daughter and cross continental echoes. Thank you poet john compton & Ghost City Press . Check out SarahFawn Montgomery ‘s lyric lovely. As well as Matthew Isaac Sobin and others. ghostcitypress.com/poetry0125/202…

|N E W S| A day ago, I found out Quiver was long listed (top 20) for the Kate Tufts. This comes on the heals of being named finalist for the California Book Award. The 18 months this book has had is pretty incredible. S/O to the homies at TRP: The University Press of SHSU Next: Distributary.

Looking to take on another client or two. My rates are fair and turn around time is solid. Just had a great time working w/Matthew Feinstein and his beautiful book.

Come out !

Being a poet and a built athletic dude who loves sports, is often times a trip. Sometimes I just want to talk about plate approach and swing mechanics and 99% of you on my TL are like “What’s the meaning of life???” “Death is encroaching” “Cut the comma?” “Cancel the unicorn!” 🙄

I won’t be there until tomorrow, but Quiver is in attendance. And what a year & change its had! Pick a copy up or come see me signing at the TRP: The University Press of SHSU booths(452 & 454) to get it signed tomorrow at 3. 😘 #AWP
