I am very much looking forward to reading with this wonderful group of poets at Robbins Library in Arlington at 7pm on Tuesday night, and I'd love to see you there! Gratitude to outgoing Arlington Poet Laureate Jean Flanagan for the invitation. ❤️

I really needed to read this today. Maybe you do, too. ❤️

Hi! You're seeing this because someone noticed you posting an image that doesn't contain alt text. This is not a scolding! You are loved! But everyone needs to be convinced using alt text is socially mandatory. (I sure had to be shown the way as well!) Would you mind reading this🧵 about it and why?

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

It has been a long while since I've read a book I disliked as much as the one I just finished, and it's a good reminder that not every book is for everyone. And that's okay! Read what you like and write what you need to--someone out there might hate it, but others will love it.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

What if, instead of trying to have a productive writing day, you aimed for a satisfying one instead?

Can we do a POET Roll Call to see who's all here?

#poetrycommunity Drop a note, reshare, etc.--let's see who's here!

Once I die, "bemused" can mean "wryly amused" and "nonplussed" can mean "cool as a cucumber."

Just once, in-continuity, i want someone to go, "you're not gonna decompose ME down to my component waveforms and reconstitute my essential pattern someplace else! That's basically just murdering and cloning me!" And then the bored transporter tech just says, "Ship of Theseus," & slides them sliders
