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.

If you’re blessed enough to have a little to have a bit to spare, the link is in my bio. 💖
You think I’m above using this cat and his fluffy belly to encourage you to support @rhinopoetry on Giving Tuesday? Why would you think that?!

🦏 $10 becomes $20
🦏 $25 becomes $50 AND a copy of RHINO 2025 for you.

As somebody with Resting Concerned Face, I know that I might appear unapproachable at times.
During those moments, it’s likely just one or more of these playing in the cinema of my mind.
The folks at @roommagazine make a truly cool space for art, and I’m very thankful that they and John Elizabeth Stinzi let this weird, longish poem into it.
We are all small and doing what we can.

When the world knocks on the door of our skulls to remind us to let the light in, it’s a good time extend our hand to another. It won’t fix everything, but it’s something.
