A week since AWP, and I have reviewed the data to report the following findings: ✍️ books are cool ✍️ friends are cool ✍️ Baltimore is cool Not pictured: anything that counts as a gift, even if I read it first.

Like many of you, I picked up a nasty respiratory virus during this year's AWP. I'm feeling more like myself today, so I'm finally posting my haul. Hoping to see more friends next month in New Orleans for @neworleanspoetry ! 🥳

Four (four!) year ago, the titular poem from Public Abstract @american_poetry_review , 2023, was published by @changes.press , which remains one of my favorite literary journals.
