Here's my thirsty bisexual poem about JAWS from volume 116 issue 3/4 of Poet Lore.Thanks to Benjamin Garcia for giving it a home. JAWS has long represented unbridled desire to me. As an adult, I swim near wanting to be objectified and wanting to objectify. Mixing fear & desire.

#FromTheArchive: “I find it helpful to think: Is this a moment of filling the pitcher or a moment of pouring a glass? When I’m stuck maybe I’m just not ready to pour? I fill up by reading poetry that excites me,” says Benjamin Garcia in #WritersRecommend. at.pw.org/Garcia

"you better not be a freakyass sonnet about BDSM written in strict iambic pentameter that's out now with Academy of American Poets when i get there" me:

Dreaming is wild. Like, your brain really just keeps recombining things without you? To make something new? A one night only show? And you are the only one who ever gets to see it? —what?!

I wrote a poem inspired by Félix González-Torres's "untitled (perfect lovers)" and it won a thing! Excited to share it when it comes out. Big thanks to the editors at Southeast Review and to Benjamin Garcia for picking this poem out of the pile. 🕗🕗

Once saw a creative writing gig that also required you to coach soccer.

Do broadsides render a poem “previously published” to lit journals?

Feelings: oh, I have those; they govern me. ... I am speaking now the way you do. I speak because I am shattered. --Louise Glück
