I wonder if any of those people have looked at the price of eggs recently.
I’ve got two new poems out in Image. Here’s a teaser, but you can read both poems in full on the website — or order the print issue!

Finally someone stands up to this bs.
Do they have special parking spots for rideable luggage?
So sorry for your loss, but that’s a life well lived!
Yep.

Um. Have you seen their beaks? Stuff of nightmares.
I read this as “I lick your assonance,” which I guess is okay too.
Please, New Yorkers. It’s time for new leadership. 😩
THRUST // The purple-stippled, / brindled cultivars defeat / the heat, wrest moisture / from topsoil desiccated / by the sun's dialectic / with the earth, ripe plums / further ripened, the fogged light / chalked across their skin / gesturing to the red flesh: / the plant supplants a word, world.
This is why they hate us. Because we make things. Because we resist their structures of power, and do so with intelligence. Because they know, as Shelley says, "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world."

“[W]hat we are witnessing is not just an attack on academia or a set of fiscal reforms or a painful political rebalancing. It is an attack on the conditions that allow free thought to exist. We may not yet know its full cost, but we will feel its consequences for decades.”

“We must learn from the past. We cannot remain silent in the face of authoritarian attacks on our peers, even if they have not yet come for us.”
I disagree with parts of this article, but one thing it gets right is the absolute cowardice of university administrators in the midst of an all out onslaught unfolding against higher education. Saying nothing will not save anyone.

I used to do the same. I’m in a different place now, so don’t need to keep as many subs in circulation, but it was an effective way to get things accepted early on.

The arrest of Mr. Khalil represents a clear instance of retaliation against constitutionally protected free speech. This is an attempt to diminish support for Palestinian people and those suffering in Gaza (not to be confused with support for Hamas).

I feel the exact same way, Meghan. It rings of McCarthyism, and I fear Columbia is just the test case.
Don’t… tempt me, Frodo!
As if he has control over most of this.
Oh yes. I much prefer “have written” to actual “writing.”
Terrifying times we’re living in.
I hear this is a pretty great contest, with some excellent winners from previous years. Submit!
You’d be doing better than the current administration.
Love the sound of “cored torso.”
