Just read through my journal from 2002, the year I was 27, and I was impossibly stupid. Then read through my poems from last month, and I remain impossibly stupid.

Krispy Kreme trucks have several signs on them that say "No cash on board, just fresh donuts," which does not make it any less likely that I will try to rob the truck and may, in fact, increase the likelihood

It's an afternoon with unfathomably sad news-- we've lost the greatest titan in American poetry. I think often of how to do work that would make her proud of me. I am grieving today but also just had a call with a young poet I believe in, which I hope honors Ellen's legacy. Thank you, EBV.

Does anybody know what Amazon is up to? After months of not purchasing any of our backlist titles, they’re now buying up all available stock of 1 to 3 different backlist titles each week. And their orders feel like unreasonable numbers given three-year sales on their site.

The reason there's no "we rate cats" is that they all get at least 10/10 and the ones who think they deserve a higher rating will either scratch you or run away and hide all day.

I get sad when I see one of my longtime fave journals has come to its end, but I also try to celebrate two things:
1. Someone-- or many someones-- gave us a boatload of their time and attention to make that beautiful thing, and we were lucky to receive that gift as long as we did.
