To a Friend in Recovery

Thinking about "Penelope & Odysseus" from @josephfasano.bsky.social 's Last Song of The World. Giving my annotated copy to my very favorite person for his birthday. I hope he finds the same resonance inside.

Friends, I've decided to return to my social media spaces. Long live poetry, mystery, and our communities that bring people together.

Friends, we've done good work together. I'm taking a short break from social media—to focus on sobriety, fatherhood, soul-work, and new books. I hope the works I've shared, including my poetry prompts, help you find your own true way. I'll be back with new words, as a new song.

Since today is my birthday, I want to share these words I wrote once for a friend, for myself, for you—for any time we stand up and begin again.

When Emelyn Story passed away in 1895, her tombstone was made by her husband, William Wetmore Story. Here it is in Rome.

Head to our substack to hear @josephfasano.bsky.social read his poem The Good News aftershockpoetry.substack.com/p/the-good-n... "The Good News is a masterclass in quiet resurrection. With the gentlest touch, Fasano reorients suffering not as failure, but as evidence of deep, persistent love."

If you'd like to write something for Mom in time for Mother's Day, just email my team and we'll send you a free poetry prompt. I do this because I believe there are few gifts quite like saying the right words, and I love to help that happen. Email: [email protected].

The time has come to see this: with recent studies proving that most students use AI to "cheat" on their assignments, we can't deny that AI has broken the educational system. So what do we do? [a 🧵]
