It was an honor to talk about @jordoisdead’s visually, textually, poetically stunning The Place of Scraps with Al Filreis for ModPo. Thanks for great questions that engaged me even more deeply with it. I hope I did right by this book & poet I deeply admire. Get a copy Talonbooks.

Very excited about the publication by EdicionesAmpersand of The Book from The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social!

Thrilled and grateful beyond measure to be included in the new issue of Snail Trail. The excerpts from W/\SH, my speculative ecopoetic collaboration with Terri Witek, couldn’t ask for a better first home.

So grateful to you, Snail Trail Press, for giving these transmissions between two worlds a home.

This collaboration with Terri Witek was more than 7 years in the making and was radically transformed by parenthood and pandemic. Thank you, Rob, for publishing part of our speculative ecopoetic manuscript W/\SH in your amazing chapbook series!




Grateful to @KikiFolle for the labor and love that went into assembling, shepherding, and editing this conversation on visual poetry & poetics. Thank you, rob mclennan for publishing!
