Poet…my book JOY IS MY MIDDLE NAME comes out summer 2025 from @fitzcarraldoeds + @wwnorton
Chose the most unhinged possible cover for the US version of my book 🥰

Love this poem and the discussion on - @newyorker podcast and the reading of Hammond B3 Organ Cistern By Gabrielle Calvocoressi - wonderful listen!
My poem, "Kaepernick," is in the November 22 issue of The @NewYorker, online today:
The fact she staged paparazzi at JFKs grave because paparazzi just dont hang around Arlington Cemetery
Nothing Taylor Swift does will ever be as crazy as her trying to become a Kennedy because of a fleeting hyperfixation.
A true HONOR to talk w Kevin about one of my favorite poems of all time
In our latest Poetry podcast, Sasha Debevec-McKenney joins Kevin Young to read “Hammond B3 Organ Cistern,” by Gabrielle Calvocoressi, and her own poem “Kaepernick.” nyer.cm/qaXmWYE

Walked around for two and a half hours stopped at two book shops got an arugula salad w salmon and I’m still sad. And it’s not even 4pm

"There's the beauty of a poem, which is that my legible could still be illegible" Read @eilidhakilade_'s interview with Sasha Debevec-McKenney (@sashadm) on her poetry collection Joy Is My Middle Name, out Thursday on @FitzcarraldoEds theskinny.co.uk/books/features…
All of this is happening because the Confederates weren’t properly punished
Exclusively for our website, @sashadm offers two new poems shining a light on the small moments in life. ‘I’M NOT WRITING BECAUSE I’M FINALLY IN LOVE’ and ‘Apartment’ are two simple – yet lyrical – pieces. buff.ly/McwqVbi
“Every day, I force myself to take an absurdly long walk. I follow The Lead with Jake Tapper. I am at the park with Jake Tapper. The lake with Jake Tapper.” –– @sashadm thedriftmag.com/list-of-progra…
