My house hunting search criteria is to find little house on the edge of something

Anything, really

Most affordable edge out there seems to be the edge of civic civilization

Where roads pipes sewers power lines simultaneously dead end into prairie

She’s actually a little shep, also black, also ungrateful.

Me, a clown, working hard so my cat can have a good life
My cat, ungrateful

Klaus Høeck
(translated by John Irons)

from 1001 poems

and the birds flew to
wards me from all the four cor
ners of the globe they
flew at me direct
ly from god forming a spon
taneous flock just
outside my very
kitchen window and i felt
great affection for
those paltry mites as
if they’d been the children i’d
never had myself

Do you keep a journal or diary? Would you like to?

I invite you try out the ancient and contemporary form of tanka (as transformed by poet Harryette Mullen) as a way of documenting something of your own intimate experience of these extraordinary times.

something passing up from the toes
an impulse to run
spin around-
make curious mistakes

anything

(SCREECHING, FLAPPING WINGS) from Deep Whoosh, my artist book of 50 closed-caption collages, coming from @blacksquareeditions

My clients are headed to AWP today, so I’m using the lull to work on my own book. New themes revealing themselves as I work & finish up the essay. #collage #visualpoetry

A collage of a woman in three-quarter bust view on gray newsprint. She has her hair in an old-fashioned up do and wears a dress with wide neckline. In front of her dance some narrow pink flames, while behind her head a large yellow semicircle and an incongruent green cabbage float against the neutral taupe background. A closed-caption sound effect that serves as the piece’s title sits below her in a dark gray box, reading (SCREECHING, FLAPPING WINGS). © Shanna Compton, 2025, from the artist book Deep Whoosh.

Quod umbra est: Pasolini’s ‘David’ and the vulnerability of desire — Eric T. Racher

Une manière d’ange était assis sur le bord d’une fontaine. Il s’y mirait, et se voyait Homme, et en larmes, et il s’étonnait à l’extrême de s’apparaître dans l’onde nue cette proie d’une tristesse …

Gosh social media today is pretty toxic. Ugh. Here's some art. #inkdrawings

And here’s some sea #foliage for #printpromptmonday, in the form of a linocut bookcover I did a while back. Each seaweed is its own block so the pattern is different on each book.
