Poetry has always been there for me when I needed it, and I’m particularly grateful to have it in the midst of an ongoing difficult situation. I also want to thank everyone that has reached out to me—it means a great deal to me to have so much support. ❤️

I wound up with this unusual indentation following a great editing conversation with Tim on how to best structure this. Since this feels like a mini braid poem, I like that it has shades of how David Kirby structures his extraordinary braids, as in his poem “The Fates.”

My prompt this week for Rattle is to “Write a new rondeau that features an unusual noun that begins with the same letter of your first name.”

I’m calling this a broken rondeau—in part because lf there’s a third “A” rhyme with the first iteration of the refrain.

Other members included along with H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Richard Aldington, William Carlos Williams, Amy Lowell, and F.S. Flint.

On today’s episode of The Poetry Space_ we explored the Imagists, and the roots of their lasting influence.

Katie Dozier @katiedozier.bsky.social · Jun 13

A little over a century ago, Ezra Pound corralled a group known as the Imagists that would have a profound effect on poetry as we know it. A controversial figure, Pound explored and enlivened the economy of language and rich images that became founding principles of the group.

Thanks also to Timothy Green who not only encouraged me to start submitting my poems again, but also came up with the title!

I’m also extremely excited to see that John Arthur is the grand prize winner; I believe his poem “Wayfare” was the first prompt poem I recommended for publication in a print issue of Rattle. I think it’s perfect that George Bilgere picked his chapbook as they are two of my favorite poets!

Super excited to be the Editor’s Choice Award Winner for the Poetry Box 2025 Chapbook Prize! A big thank you to Shawn Sanders for all the work she puts into running the Poetry Box—I love her poetry so it is an especially meaningful honor.

I picked a chef who died before I was born, who taught the first chef that I learned (a great deal from) in culinary school—so I suppose he’d be extra surprised to hear from me!

Excited to hear your prompt poems tonight!

Katie Dozier @katiedozier.bsky.social · Jun 1

Here’s my prompt poem this week, which I’ll read live later in the Rattlecast, following Tim’s conversation with Kat Lehmann Blount tonight!

My prompt this week is to: “Write a postcard poem to someone that would be very surprised to hear from you.”

Thank you, Katie. I’ve been doom scrolling since I woke up and your post reminded me that today is the day I start my self-funded camping residency at a pond in the Adirondacks. For the next two weeks, I’m going to be writing a poem. Hopefully many. Thank you for all you do for the poet community.
