I just heard about the death of my old friend Jane Greer, a wonderful person and a poet whose work ignited in recent years. I still have a lot of catching up to do, but I am going to shut down on Twitter for the rest of the day as a sign of respect for her.
Well, this just made my Saturday.

Happy Spoonerism Day to all those who belly crate.
I am grateful to Bethel for her kind words about my #sonnet "No."
I don't share this piece much because it was so painful to write, but I traced how this was literally Aaron Bushnell's arc. furtherup.net/p/the-wasted-p…
Richly deserved!

I'm just back from a fun but frantic week setting up the new house in rural Virginia. It was great fun reading with three old friends--Jane, Ned Balbo, and Claudia Annis. I also had my best dental visit in two decades down there & learned that I had co-won the Robert Ball Award…
