Quite chuffed (and apparently British) to see my name and book on this list! (Scroll down almost all the way and you'll find it...). Tons of great-looking books on this list - and we should all be buying all of them for ourselves and for gifts!

It's Small Business Saturday, so time to do a little self-promotion... My chapbook is available through bookshop.org, or you can go to your local bookstore and ask them to order it (available through Ingram for bookstores). It'd make a great gift for any pianists or prose-poem lovers in your life!

Whenever I get to see a good light show I like to try to get my brain to forget all the science I know and just let myself be awed by the unknown.

What fresh hell is this??? For reference, the “research” this AI has supposedly turned into an analogy is a couple of poems published in a university-linked literary journal. Like, I’m kind of curious to see what kind of “analogy” it made out of my lines… but also, WTF? Not today, Satan.

I want to point out that the kid holding the No Kings sign (which he made before the last No Kings protest), is my 9 (almost 10)-year-old son. He's been doing this since he was not even a year old, when he went with me to the 2016 Women's March.

I can’t help but compare the lack of national coverage this seems to be getting with the excessive coverage of houses falling into the sea in NC’s outer banks. The situation in western AK looks so bad right now. These are people’s homes and whole communities, just totally destroyed.

Among all the terrible shit happening in this country, it was so nice to wake up to some positive local (red state!) election results. Palmer and Fairbanks both elected liberal mayors! (I don’t know enough about the other towns’ races/candidates though.)
LIVE: Fairbanks mayor concedes as more than 20 Alaskan communities hold elections
Almost two dozen municipalities and boroughs across Alaska held local elections Tuesday, asking voters to decide on new mayors and propositions on the ballot.
