Es alucinante cómo ha bajado la contaminación en París en 15 años. Anne Hidalgo lo ha llenado todo de carriles bici y no sólo ha reducido la contaminación en un 40%, sino que ha sido reelegida.

Organizing my school stuff, I found a copy of our school's literary magazine, Refractions, which published a poem I wrote while sitting in the audience at our school's poetry festival, partly in response to an amazing poem a ninth grader had read the year before.

Exciting to see proofs of my poems that will appear in @newversereview — they look great! — and I can’t wait to read the rest of the issue when it’s out (next week, I think)!

This is utterly insane. AI does not belong in classrooms, and the AFT is making a big mistake. nytimes.com/2025/07/08/tec…

etherealcolburn's tweet card. The American Federation of Teachers said it would use the $23 million, including $500,000 from the A.I. start-up Anthropic, to create a national training center.

Listening to Joni sing about drawing a map of Canada—Oh Canada—and dreaming again about becoming a Canadian poet. If only Canadian immigration policy hadn’t hardened up so much… “you’re in my blood like holy wine, so bitter and so sweet…” She is amazing. youtu.be/jqYpK3CFmMk

Up in Vermont, everything is miraculous—the dandelions, swallows, spring torrents, bear cubs… and the old stone walls, some of them hardly noticeable anymore. I wrote a poem about this one a couple of years ago: greeninkpoetry.co.uk/bud-blossom-su…

I’m visiting my son in Philly this weekend, or else I definitely would have been in Newburyport today to see amazing poets like @amjuster, Brad Leithauser, @alfred_nicol, Rhina Espaillat, etc. newburyportliteraryfestival.org/2025-poetry/

Had such a fun time last night out in Cambridge with @BurlHorniachek and @etherealcolburn talking poetry, poetry and more poetry.
