SKULL thepoetrybox.com/bookstore/s… via @saveningo I got my bell rung pretty badly in 2017, shortly after an election that left me shaky to begin with. I wrote about it in SKULL, my latest chapbook, will be out 12/15 and is now available to pre-order
Take a look-see! #poetry

'Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s' is an arresting blend of family history and investigative journalism. For its tenacious reporting & continued commitment to recognizing the full history of the Indigenous community, 'Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s' is a #PeabodyWinner. 🏆

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.

NIGHT HAG speaks of femininity through the eternal voice of Lilith, the first woman. NIGHT HAG is an exploration of yin strength and autonomy of body, heart, and mind. NIGHT HAG invites readers to consider distinctions between selfishness and self-care.

Happy Easter! My Christianity is mainly about ensuring school shootings remain easy & convenient to do, making women’s tricky healthcare decisions for them, and putting up obstacle courses in front of voting locations in Black neighborhoods. But also, Cadbury eggs! 🇺🇸
.@RonSexsmith Hey Ron! I forgot to thank you last night for recommending Martin Chuzzlewit. Chose it for my Dickens book club and finished it a few months back. Now it’s one of my faves.
Reading and rereading this spring break weekend, and in heaven.
#poets, who are you reading as you head into the weekend? I'm currently obsessed with Frank O'Hara and plan to do some more reading of John Ashbery, "Houseboat Days."
Who are you reading this weekend?
My first full collection is available for preorder here, and people who do get extra brownie points.
NIGHT HAG (Unsolicited Press, April 2023) speaks of femininity through the eternal voice of Lilith, the first woman.

Oops-just saw this minutes after completing Wordle. But will stay off for the rest of the day.
We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

Easy way to disavow #racists and #antisemites: Call and change your party registration so you aren't a member of the @GOP, an organization whose leader actively promotes racism and antisemitism. #Republicans won't kick out #Trump, you need to get out or it's on you. – at Independence, OR
