Found this random book of poetry in a used bookstore in Cortez, CO. Very intriguing find. Only 150 existed in 1983. I suspect far fewer of these wonderfully bound beauties remain today. Can't wait to read it

At work, I post weekly quotes I find that bring positivity without being hallmark emptiness. #johnkoethe

Finally found a book that contains "Factory" by Antler and it didn't cost me 150 like the solo book is. Can't wait to get this tomorrow!

I am confident my poetry is better than it was 2 years ago. But I still find paying $20 to gamble on a contest is a tough pill to swallow.

Someone recommend some great underrated poetry books that are at #AWP2026! I (don't) need MORE before I leave tomorrow

I want to be more immersed in the poetry world. Working a non-writer job makes that painfully hard.

I adore satire! It has the ability to make chaos digestible, horror palatable, torture tactile, and life bearable.

Can't wait for #AWP2026! Going to catch up with some many friends!

This administration is now actively going to war without congressional approval to topple a 2nd regime with assistance from a genocidal country. Can't wait for history to paint us what we are.

The old are getting younger and I don't think I appreciate it.

How we still ourselves by instilling those we love; how we seek nature through its destruction and because of it and against it.

Book of Extraction: Poems with Teeth!

one of our first books, and most loved.
Adrian's lament for this teeth, and the price he's paid to keep them, keeps striking a nerve.

I can't recall what I opened the fridge for but I can recite the 1st verse to Ice Ice Baby and Nightmare On My Street like it was 1994. I'm not proud of my accomplishments.

Got to do something with Z that I never got the chance to do with Dad: teach them to tie a tie.
