4) The Earthen Dark - Brad Kelly
"All I can think is this is the fucking life as a man jumps onto a trampoline and falls through it, keeps falling through the earth itself, forever, his whole body eventually shattered into nothing by the core." @juscarts.com mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

Back in the early 2010s I went through a flarf poetry phase.
This week I found a new journal called I MISS FLARF, so I sent a curated selection of my old tweets to them.

3) Lost Lambs - Madeline Cash
Feels so weird that it's Daytona 500 weekend & I won't be writing anything about NASCAR over the next few days.
Over at @somewordslit.bsky.social, I just published my first poem after a seven year hiatus 😅 It’s about my son & Patrick Mahomes’ knee & about how the Super Bowl sucks this year.
It’d mean a lot to me if y’all checked it out 💞
First agent rejection. I don’t want to do this, like, 50 more times so if someone wants to just, like, be my agent…hit me up.
2) Chelsea Girls - Eileen Myles
Unfortunately, my time with RotoBaller has come to an unexpected end. If anyone knows of any paid, part-time roles in the fantasy sports or women's basketball space, please let me know.
