We have two spots left in CWC this month, so if you’re looking to join an intensive writing community of 200+ poets, maybe we’re the right place for you. 💛 If so, join us for Nicole Sealey’s talk on erasure poetry this afternoon.

Join us tonight at 8 PM for Kaveh Akbar on spiritual verse from antiquity to today. I truly can’t wait for this one. 8 PM EST. myfivethings.com/class/kaveh-...

Our May instructors in CWC 💛 (+ usual workshop, office hours, & writing time with me!). Doors open again May 1. 💛

Woke up to this milestone. 😭🙏🏻 20,000 newsletter readers. I can’t believe my musings on poetry have drawn this beautiful crowd, landing me in the company of the serialized Dracula. I am SO grateful to you. 💛

Check out @mayacpopa.bsky.social wonderful post on Easter Sunday and one of my poems (from SMALL GODS) included: The Irrepressible Theme of Resurrection open.substack.com/pub/mayacpop...
