I'm never sure with poems like this if the line breaks should be exactly where they are, or if the intent is to maintain the visual appearance as a solid block of text.

The Richard Siken drama continues.
Imagine stating that an author most well known for an AIDS memoir needs to DIE because he doesn't think his serious poetry applies to your SHITTY SHIP.
Goddamn fucking Buddie shippers are the fucking worst.

Book cover of War of the Foxes by Richard Siken
Something dead that seems to be alive. Something dead, that doesn't know it's dead.

Did the release date of the next #richardsiken poetry book #idoknowsomethings get pushed back a couple months or am I losing it?
Richard Siken (born 1977)
Detail of the Woods I looked at all the trees and didn’t know what to do. A box made out of leaves. What else was in the woods? A heart, closing. Nevertheless. Everyone needs a place. It shouldn’t be inside of someone else. I kept my mind on the moon. Cold moon, long nights moon. From the landscape: a sense of scale. From the dead: a sense of scale. I turned my back on the story. A sense of superiority. Everything casts a shadow. Your body told me in a dream it’s never been afraid of anything. - Richard Siken
Richard Siken: a poet of visceral intensity, weaving love, loss, and desire into hauntingly beautiful verse. 🌌 His work captures the raw complexities of human emotion with lyrical precision. Celebrate his bold voice in contemporary poetry. #RichardSiken #Poetry
What’s your favorite word to whisper in the dark? I’ve got a few in mind.
Might need a post on limerence in the future to really do this justice.

I've probably reread this collection of poems more than any other. From Richard Siken's book, Crush: bookshop.org/a/862/978030...

Does anyone have that Richard Siken quote about the language of misery being the dictionary? I'd like to borrow it for a newsletter I'm writing and I wish I'd saved it!

Rereading Richard Siken because no one understands violent, blood-in-mouth, bruised-knuckles, bent-knees love like he does.

Thankful that Richard Siken is on Bluesky because I need Richard Siken to be on Bluesky. Please post. Too nervous to tag #richardsiken
short comic interpretation of the lines from richard siken's poem scheherazade. the first lines read: tell me how all this and love too, will ruin us. in the first 4 panels: two girls light a smoke. one of them takes the cigarette out of the other's mouth and a kiss after that is implied, but they don't look happy. the last panel shows the two cigarettes now burned to ashes, but still emitting a bit of light from the fire. it reads: these, our bodies, possessed by light. (id: fanart, richard siken, poetry, scheherazade, comic, wlw)
tell me we'll never get used to it

picture of two page drawing in sketchbook, edited in a green background with drawings of oranges. in the pages, two creatures, one in each page in opposite sides. they have their long tongues out, crooked teeth and a slimy, long body. next to the creature on top it says "he can feel the dogs licking at his heart".
who fw #richardsiken and #art hehe
Richard Siken's "Crush" is one of those poetry collections that instantly make you regret everything you've ever written in that nothing can be as good as the poem you just read, or the poem your reading, and probably the poem on the next page, too.
