"Do you think for a moment we were human beings to them?" I was casting around for words for the unspeakable, and it called to mind a favorite poem by a favorite poet: The Garden Shukkei-en, by Caroline Forche. She writes so clearly about war: poemhunter.com/i/ebooks/pdf/c…

Today's Sunday Poem: "The Rhine - 200 Million BCE", by @dianaarterian I love how the poet involves me in a prehistory I have no chance of remembering, and yet. In the coursing water, the tectonic shift, the ancient fastness, I feel I *am involved*, implicit to life. #SundayPoem

she kisses me under the gentle dim of days retreat & i am weightless limbs & thoughts & heart float free for while we bear the echoes of a billion marching feet we are just the blip of silence where all the words meet

Ollie and Ashton read banned books. Well, mostly Ash, since Ollie can't read. . . #bannedbooks #maus #mausbook #readersofinstagram #reading #readmore #bookcover #bookshop #shopsmall #shopindies #locallove #hutchinsonks #booklife #indiebookshop #crowandcobooks #crowandco

If I kept track of all the words I couldn’t say, I would write you a book, tell you to live between the lines of my grief in hopes you’d understand why I’ve held everything out of your reach. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #writingcommunity #blackpoet

unwittingly started poetry collection about monsters real and imaginary

Floored to announce, pre-orders for my first collection are live!!! Took 14 years to get that acceptance. Never give up! Your dreams will come true, just keep going. Thanks so much Gob Pile Press for believing this crazy shit's worth it: gobpilepress.bigcartel.com/product/pre-or…

Today is shit and I am going to watch The Big Lebowski and rescind into Dudeism.

You guys don't get it. If George Carlin were alive today he'd also invite a billionaire emerald mine heir on stage to try to do PR work for him before calling his audience poor for booing. It's comedy. Look it up.

@CuCairagan @robin182zz That was priceless.

@FarnellMusic thank you!
