wondering if there are any literary agents here that might be down to Zoom into a class? or if anyone knows an agent who might be a good match, let me know?

Hi poetry reviewers, writers, readers: here’s a document I made of paying reviews markets. Holler at me if you see something that needs to be updated/deleted/added! 🙏 I would appreciate it. Would love this to be a community resource for freelance writers to be paid for their criticism.

Thinking back to your MFA days, what are some things you wish you'd been taught regarding professionalization. I have a decent list going, but I'd to hear others. Thanks, friends!

A Photograph of a Grain of Salt

Some mornings everything feels spectacular or maybe I mean everything feels like spectacle. The rain seems unbelievable on the other side of the curtains. Outside, crime scene tape whips in the wind like some twenty-first century tumbleweed. Tomorrow night so far away, I don't imagine knowing why. A hand in front of my face—my hand-disappears when I hold it up. About suffering what if the old masters had it wrong, how a frame can't hold everything or how some musings fall short to what loss can mean on a microscopic level. A look at anything up close is like looking at everything at once and then it's like nothing, nothing at all.

I had thoughts about the plantation burning. Lots of thoughts.

The Burning of Nottoway Plantation

A fire at the Nottoway Plantation raises an important question: how do we treat locations with heinous histories?

"Your sister has no thesis" really stuck with me. If I was teaching comp, this would be a good stock comment that 1% of my students would get.
