Read the open letter from co-organizers of the 2023 Asian American Literature Festival. We join our community partners in condemning the cancellation of this year’s festival & calling on the @smithsonian to be accountable for the harms they’ve caused docs.google.com/document/d/1…

The new issue of @poetrynw is out with my prose poem Angel Number Seven, an #OCD and #depression origin story of sorts.

Today is 6 months since the brutal invasion of Ukraine. Of Russia shelling civilian centers, of slaughter & violation. Today is also Ukrainian Independence Day, a reminder of what is being fought for. My own small way of fighting is poetry, the most recent in @poetrymagazine

We're excited to welcome Jane Wong to Utica University for a poetry reading this Monday (Mar. 21) from 5:30pm-6:30pm EST! Open to the public! This is an in-person event with an option to attend virtually. Virtual attendees must register in advance: utica.edu/events/2022-03-21/…
I ache for what I cannot change. Poetic erasure of a tyrant's language lets me reclaim a sense of power, if only for a moment, only in the lyric space of the page, to reach for mir-мир, the word for peace in both Russian and Ukrainian--a shattered hope. rattle.com/mir-in-ukraine-by…

"in one pond, the bottom is scraped bare of bones. the head turned slightly—disassociated in seeing. an ideal estranged from subject. what we had missed: soft, gutted, absent among wonder." ~ Sara Lupita Olivares, Issue 8 guesthouselit.com/i8-olivare…

Is anyone interested in reviewing Kathleen Peirce's book Lion's Paw? It's a beautifully lyrical fusion of dense musicality, striking imagery, & an air of mystery. I've been told that there are great journals interested in a review. DM me for details & review copy info.
