- New poem at Wild Roof Journal alongside many writers thinking deeply about ecologies. Thank you to inspirations large and small: bird voices, mountains, Community of Writers, deer families, unpaved roads, the mountain lion that said hello mid-draft. Thank you Aaron Lelito for including my work!
- New poem in issue 39 of @soflopojo.bsky.social.
- A special thank you to lovely new poet friends who lifted the poem up in Olympic Valley @communityofwriters.bsky.social, hours after it was written. To the 8 am hike crew, that stopped at each new wildflower patch for pictures. And to everyone who has touched it so thoughtfully since.
- You can listen to my reading on the website, and read through a trove of wonderful new poems. Thank you Michael Mackin O'Mara for publishing. www.southfloridapoetryjournal.com

- A little late posting... Very happy to have a new poem in ONE ART. This poem took a while to write, and it took longer to be in a place where I was able to write it. Big thanks to Mark Danowsky for publishing.

- So stoked to receive a nomination for Best of the Net ! a poem about my eighth grade students, a tsunami warning, and an endangered fish... Thanks to Jeff at @stanchion.bsky.social for the deep care shown to this poem, and all the writing they receive!
- June 28 was three years since my dad passed from ALS. Blue Bodies is available as a free PDF from @ghostcitypress.bsky.social. If you’re able, there's a donate button. Funds go to ALS United Greater NY—an org that supports families (they were a life raft for us) and also contributes to med research.
- Always exciting to see The Last Machine in the Solar System being read in the world more than eight years since publication. Even more thrilling, and an honor, when those people are teachers overseas sharing the story with their students.

- Reposted by Matthew Isaac SobinJust heard about the passing of Jack Katz. Not many know his work, but they should. His graphic novel series The First Kingdom is the epitome of what would be defined as epic. An inspirational epic in highly ambitious terms of scope and illustrative power.
- Will miss you, my friend. Jack Katz was an absolute one of one. A Golden Age of comics legend -- If you've ever enjoyed a graphic novel, he's the most important person you've never heard of, innovating a new genre in the 70s with his groundbreaking The First Kingdom. May your art live on and on.

- Happy to have these two poems — a dad poem, a dance poem — side by side in @oneart.bsky.social. And sharing space with Gary Soto, how cool!

- Reposted by Matthew Isaac SobinI used to get nervous seeing this poem on X. Someone would always troll it, remarking that I didn't have a handle of English grammar. I grew up speaking Romanian at home and French in school. I transferred to an American school in 9th grade & promptly failed every grammar unit. Thank you, Jad.
- Hey @toddedillard.bsky.social thanks for classing up our poetry section at @booksonb.bsky.social — now we’re sparkling.
