Are y’all ready for the 2024-2025 Georgia Poetry Circuit? We’ll host the amazing writers Leslie Sainz, Shane McCrae, and Camonghne Felix at ten member schools all around the state of Georgia. See berry.edu/gpc for the school closest to you and come out!

here’s a reminder that LANGUAGE IS ULTIMATELY IN THE HANDS OF ITS USERS

somehow it is already Tuesday so I’m telling you that in TWO DAYS I’ll be reading at Mercer in Macon as part of the Third Thursday Poetry Reading Series! also today I am wearing long pants to teach in! truly autumn has arrived

🔥🧠🔥🧠🔥🧠

OOOOH, SHINY!! thank you, Georgia Writers for the stickers for THE ANXIETY WORKBOOK!! 🔥🧠🔥🧠🔥🧠

Hey all, did not know that my love for Point Break, Road House, and Red Dawn was gonna lead to a book of pomes, but here it is, a gift to y'all. Get your hands on it. Learn some stuff about the man, the myth, the Swayze Mane: tinyurl.com/mrx78ccf

that was a blast. big poet hugs to Jim May & Chelsea Rathburn for bringing me to yesterday, and to their amazing students who lined up nearly to the door (!!!) to say hello, get a book signed, talk about anxiety, or just let me know that they enjoyed my work 🔥🧠♥️

hey sorry I was late logging into the zoom meeting, I was watching two mantises fucking on my window screen and hoping I’d see her tear off his head and eat it

feels sort of strange to post this while we have a giant tree laying on its side in our front yard, but I had the poem of the day up at Poetry Daily yesterday! I still like poison dart frogs. their toxicity depends on what they’ve been consuming, which seems like a metaphor

The "big lake" is seeing water temperatures that are warmer than ever recorded at this time of year. It’s worth noting, water temperature records only go back to 1995 Lake Superior #GreatLakes bringmethenews.com/minnesota-weat…

fellow Georgians, today is the LAST day to register to vote in Georgia. even if you think you’re registered, check your status today here: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ (it’s … it’s almost like our peach state has a wild and wooly history of voter shenanigans!!!!) 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

happy 46th (!!!!) to this absolute stunner from the shores of lake superior, love you Benjamin Drevlow and am glad that you’re with us

THE FIRE WILL NOT BE SNUFFED OUT BY HURRICANE. THE SWAMP BURNS AGAIN THIS FRIDAY, 4 PM. Spread the word. We've got a whole lot of kindling that needs to go.

it's actually adorable that more than one student yesterday, when asked what they did while the uni was closed because of #Helene and they didn't have power, told me that they wrote poems

gritty and I are absolutely chuffed to be holding the Abbie Kiefer debut full-length collection, CERTAIN SHELTER, out from June Road Press! happy publication month, Abbie! this book slaps

I appreciate the faculty member who has an entire pint of the Ben and Jerry’s non-dairy The Tonight Dough in the office fridge. I like to imagine that they teach their classes and then they just go to town on it. Someone knocks on the door and they’re like BUSY, COME BACK LATER

A little Wonder Years ekphrasis. And if you like poems about TV shows, there's more where that came from! juneroadpress.com/certain-shelter
