Achilles spends eight books (chapters) of The Iliad in his tent with Patroclus because he refuses to fight. I’m not Homer, I’m not Madeline Miller. I’m Saeed Jones and I’m here to remind you that Achilles and Patroclus were FUCKING. That tent smelled like sweat, moans and choices.

Texted a friend about a football team staying in the hotel and saying “I’ve seen so many boys in their heresies”. Serendipitous.

Also before I forget — I reviewed Shangyang Fang’s Burying the Mountain, published with Copper Canyon Press, and it was nourishing to spend so much time with poetry again.

Very excited to introduce QUEER ENVIRONMENT—the new special issue of @moistpoetryjournal.bsky.social ! 🌱✨ The care & tenderness of these poems—a wonder. Guest editor Alejandro Wilson read his heart out! Couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator. 💚 Enjoy!

Discovered an academic journal today where the whole focus is just on recreational linguistics: fun puns, odd baubles, and interesting factoids. It's so lifechanging to me.

Trying to break out of a very long writer's block by writing a review of @vcmccabe.bsky.social's new collection. It is so interesting to review a poet's work for the second time. You think back to the other work and how it connects to the new work. I have one paragraph so far, which I consider a win
