Excited to have this piece about my sister Jody and cooking with my children published today at One Potato! Link in bio. And thank you to @penparentis.bsky.social for their support of artists who parent.

I loved being in workshop with you, Helen!
It’s the end of Tin House Winter Workshop and I feel like my mind and spirit have been magnified by 10.
So grateful for an amazing instructor; generous cohorts; @almajor.bsky.social and everyone @tinhouse.bsky.social who work hard to make the amazing place it is. I feel utterly changed. 💕
It’s so cute! New obsession.

A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"
99.99% of the time you're going to be the first and last person to read it. If it ever gets in front of another human, it has already survived the insurmountable odds of your own self-rejection, and the odds become much more grim after that. Just go ahead and write whatever you want!
Going to think about this poem for a long time.
So thrilled to be part of the Tin House Winter Workshop in February, working with Vanessa Angélica Villarreal!
Posting my 2024 reads, a bit late.
‘And then I saw it—what everyone not saying.’
Such a brilliantly written story from Banchiwosen Woldeyesus in @smokelong.bsky.social, all those things unsaid… 🐕

Great read — hilarious and devastating.
Wow—every beautiful, haunting sentence.

Collage of three photos: one of a book titled Lesser Ruins by Mark Haber; one of two people in conversation; one is a flyer with the book event information on it.
A great evening at Brazos Bookstore — looking forward to reading Mark’s new book, starting this weekend.

Photo of a grey striped tabby cat resting his head on a person’s arm. This person — me— is trying to type on a computer keyboard.
He makes working difficult but he’s cute while doing it.

My sweet cat, Pippin ❤️
Thank you, Matt!
I am thrilled that my CNF piece found a home at Motherwell Magazine!
We just finished getting our oldest to college today, and so this feels like a great marker to the day. 💗

Gulliver, a dog with white, grey and brown fur, and his mom (me) are so glad to be reunited ❤️
Home at last! 💖
Still driving…hopefully home tomorrow ❤️
So Great to catch up with Jonathan!
And excellent dinner at Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft. A much appreciated repast after a long day.
Made it to my first stop in Ardmore on the long drive home. Missing the Vermont people and looking forward to being home at the same time.

Goodbye Vermont! I know it’s the Green Mountain State, but I’ll always remember it in shades of grey blue and gold.
