Does anyone want to hang out in a Zoom with me on Saturday night and read Jane Greer poems to each other? Seriously. This sounds so good to me.
I am deeply saddened by the news of Jane’s death. I never met her, but she was a boisterous, provocative, funny online penpal, and, most importantly, a poet of rare lyric grace. It was an honor to publish the poem below earlier this summer.
Some lit journals pay nothing. Today, appreciatively, I received a modest check from @utulsa for this poem, which appeared in @NimrodJournal last month. Editor-in-chief @BorisDralyuk and his excellent young staff put out a first-class journal that respects the folks it publishes.
Rest in Peace, Jane Greer (known as @NorthDakotaJane in these parts). She was one of the great formalists of her generation.
"Child and Ancient Mask" and "A Painter of the Eleventh Century" are up at Mezzo Cammin--small things but mine own to give away as I like.... Here you go: mezzocammin.com/iambic.php?vol…
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…
Great NVR reading at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda. Here are two of the star readers— @amjuster and Jane Satterfield. Many thanks to all the readers and attendees!
Super excited to have a new poem in the wonderful @PsalteryLyre! ‘The Temple of Hephaestus’ was inspired by a trip to Athens a couple of years ago 🏛️

A chest of literary treasure awaits you in our archives. Here's a little gem from M.I. Devine on Andy Warhol as puzzle — Dappled Things dappledthings.org/deep-down-thin…
“If I said that the monarch butterfly / My daughter raised from larva to adult / Was an enchanting metaphor that crawled / Into our lives, then lofted, winged, out—/ It wouldn’t be quite true…” *It’s that time of year again! The rest of my poem is here: modernagejournal.com/metamorphosis/…
I’m working on a little manifesto about why I will not use AI in any stage of my art. One main reason is that I think my audience deserves to know when art is 100% human-made, and when it’s not.
Wasteland Issue 4 submissions open THIS FRIDAY, 7/25, at midnight EST! We can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!
