Yesterday, I said Alex Dimitrov's Ecstasy was my favorite poetry book of 2025. That may have been a case of recency bias. Earlier in the year, there was Andrea Cohen's exceptional the Sorrow Apartments. You can read my review here www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...

The irony is that I don't know a single one of my Wrapped Top 5 Songs because they all come from my "Inner Journey" sleep mix, which I put on every night before bed.

@tromano.bsky.social wrote an oral history of the Village Voice. @ericacbarnett.bsky.social & I will be interviewing her tonight at Elliott Bay. 7pm. Free. Here's the Village Voice from the week I was born. Stokely Carmichael's original "Black Power" exhortation and also the Beatles on the cover.

Seattle's bumping. In the last 48 hours I've been at packed coffeeshops, 2 different crowded restaurants, on packed light rail trains & buses, at 2 packed bars, and out on the jumping streets. I'm not saying this is about Katie Wilson. But she IS more of a match for what's happening in our city.
