it’s late in the day, but I’d like to try something. here’s a poem by Thomas Horan called “Moonslick Bay in Pain”—I’d like to share it for #twopageplustuesday, a day of sharing poems you like (or poems you yourself have written!) that take up two or more printed pages, roughly speaking. (1/2)

There aren't enough readers for the number of books published yearly in the U.S. I don't know why some people get mad when this is pointed out. There are too many books published in the US every year.

When the NEA asked us to promise not to publish trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid authors, we told them to kick rocks. (Actually, formally, with a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, we told them to kick rocks.) So the NEA rescinded our funding.
