I, too, am going to Chicago in 2027 for AWP. I'm brainstorming panel ideas but am also glad to join discussions on lineage, archive, love, friendship, plants and snacks. More than going for AWP, I would love to visit Chicago on Aug 11 for a White Sox Pope hat.

If you’re proposing a panel for AWP 2027 and wanna slide me onto your lineup lmk 😇 I also like moderating panels too if you need a moderator!

Not the first time even. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is the first long form review I’ve written! I’ve always been intimidated by criticism and doubted that I had anything valuable to say, but my adoration of Summer’s work as a poet & a critic, and a class on review-writing I took with @asaldrake.bsky.social, helped me take the leap!
