I'm truly honored-and shocked— to learn that my manuscript was one of two honorable mentions for the VU Literary Prize! Huge congratulations to Melissa Range, and the other finalists!

You gave me grief, and how to grieve.

today is the release day for A Letter From The Mountain & Other Poems (@animalheartpress.bsky.social)!! here is a poem from the book I’m particularly fond of—many, many thanks to all the folks who have preordered a copy already, it means the world to me & I’m so grateful for your kind support :’)

Sonnet

In the dark room a reliable ocean
sounds mix on YouTube replaces day
and night with barely
-perceptible differences in volume
between high and low tide. No birds
ever seem to get near the mic,
which is like a miracle if the kind of miracle
you’re into doesn't have birds in it.

In the reliable ocean sounds mix on You
Tube’s comments section, there's one guy
with no likes or replies saying “Thank you,
this video helps my son
fall asleep, nothing else has worked as well
as this video.”

A Mantra:

Spending money on books doesn’t count

… Is it enough
That the dish of milk is set out at night,
That we think of him sometimes,
Sometimes and always, with mixed feelings?

—John Ashbery, from “At North Farm”
