Winter Issue of Muzzle →
stevietheclumsy:
I’m super duper excited about the latest issue of Muzzle!
With poems by Malachi Black, Reginald Dwayne Betts, Gregory Pardlo, Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Sierra DeMulder, Megan Falley, Michael Mlekoday, and many other talented folks, this might just be my favorite issue yet. The poetry happening in this issue is just flat out stunning.
short "fiction" of mine was published today! →
I use the term “fiction” because so much of this happened in some reality for me, dreams, fantasies, veiled versions of truth. I wrote them so hard they started to exist. I could answer any question you have about Alice and Wendy and intend to keep them around.
“Why does this guy come in at 7:30 every morning, cry for four hours, and then...”

Eating Poetry: For the young who want to →
eating-poetry:
Talent is what they say you have after the novel is published and favorably reviewed. Beforehand what you have is a tedious delusion, a hobby like knitting.
Work is what you have done after the play is produced and the audience claps. Before that friends keep asking when you are planning to go out and get a job.
Genius is what they know you had after the third volume of...
“Suicides have a special language.
Like carpenters they want to know which...”
– Anne Sexton (via thewhitebetweenyourwords)

My mom wouldn’t let me blast Whitney Houston in the car so I changed all of her contacts in her phone to Harry Potter characters.
Oh, the look on her face when she got a text from Severus Snape saying “Hey are you guys coming over tomorrow?”

A YEAR IN REVIEW
Dear Follovers*,
For the past four years in the early promise of Janauary I have included on my blog what I’ve coined a “Retrospective Introspective,” or “A Year in Review.” Upon the dawn of the new year I chronicle all memories, photographs, events, and major themes of each month and break them down on this here blog. A lot happens in twelve months and this little...

25,498 DAYS SINCE I LAST SAW YOU
Years later, did you look for my name on the bookshelves? Flip to the back cover to see if I’m still pretty, how many kids I have, if I mentioned you?
I am not what I once was. My spine: curlicue and scoliosis from crescent moons you bent in to me. Skin: sunset and jaundiced from a daffodil you once rubbed across my cheek. Hair: silver as a daydream of the cutlery...

Below are my responses. Kamone’s initial posts can be found at http://toskateonsun.tumblr.com/post/14192133773 . Kamone is a friend and fellow poet who makes some very interesting points that i wildly disagree with. I suggest you read her entire post beforehand, but what mostly struck me as worth responding to was the statement “Chris Brown beat a woman. He is not a man who beats...
Anonymous asked: Just thought I would tell you that I found "If you really Love a Writer" a powerful piece. Funny when you spoke of reciting lines over and over in your head so you can remember them later. I do this all the time. Even more telling, I wrote my first poem standing on a subway, writting on my knee with a dull pencil and torn paper bag. Happy I stumbled upon your page. Great Stuff.
