I used to want to be a rock star. (I kinda still do.) And now I am! Because Sean Cole wrote this rockin' poem about me -- from his fab new collection After These Messages from Lunar Chandelier Press. Thank you, Sean Cole! 😍🌞🌸

Finally found my favorite Twitter thread of all time

Hey folks, This American Life is working on an episode along the lines of "Last Ditch Effort" or "One More Try" or some such. Looking for someone who's taking a last stab at something (e.g. saving a relationship) and whom we can talk to before and after the fact. Any ideas? Dm me pls

So sad to learn of Anne Garrels's death. I listened to her reports on NPR from the time I was a teenager I think. And met her briefly at WBUR back when Naked in Baghdad came out. She was a legend. RIP nytimes.com/2022/09/07/bus…

I'm reading with the amazing Brenda Coultas at Torn Page on Oct. 30. Space is limited so please RSVP soon. Hope to see you there!

This American Life is looking for stories on the theme of "First Christmas." Maybe a first Christmas with someone specific, or in such-and-such a place, or with a new job. Stuff like that. Any ideas? Please DM me. We're especially looking for lighter/funnier stories with this one

Hey New Yorkers and nearby'ers - I'm reading from my book "After These Messages" unnameable books in Brooklyn this Sunday, Nov. 6 at 5pm with the awesome poets Nada Gordon and Joe Elliot. Come one, come all!

The good Don Yorty has recreated our Nov. 6 reading unnameable books on his blog -- with videos of Joe Elliot, Nada Gordon, and myself, and links to our books, etc. Thanks Don! donyorty.com/2022/11/12/ell…

I could not be happier about this!

RIP Bernadette Mayer. Patron saint of we poet weirdos. Everyone please read her Sonnets. Especially the one called "[Sonnet] You jerk you didn't call me up"

I produced this week's This American Life holiday episode featuring the marvelous Aviva DeKornfeld, Alex Edelman, @Emanuelewithane, Neil Drumming, & scaachi. Plus a playlist of actually good holiday music! (Anne DeAcetis 👀) bit.ly/3BVryzt bit.ly/3vdRuCq

When I posted an Instagram piece about David Crosby yesterday I completely forgot to say how sad his passing makes me feel: I didn’t know him personally but it hurts to know he’s gone…

Another good one

Sigh. I thought I was being so clever and original when I texted this sentence to a bunch of friends earlier. Then I made the mistake of searching it on here. Anyway, Happy Mardi Gras, everybloody. (Especially you Brendan Lorber)

I’m filling in for Ira Glass this weekend hosting This American Life with a story about quitting smoking — and two other quitting stories. Tune in!
