"Thy will be done on this earth where we've exploded the mountain tops..." After much debate, I've landed on my favorite from @bethanyjarmul.bsky.social's elj-editions.com/lighting-is-... from @emergejournal.bsky.social. Your bookshelf is begging for these snapshots of Appalachia and motherhood.

If you send out two submissions for every rejection, you’ll always be ahead of the curve. (I like to call this the “Hydra method” because when you cut off its head, two more appear.)

It’s time to request more books from the library! I’m currently loving poetry collections that read like memoir & memoirs that read like poetry. What recommendations do you have? ☺️📚

I’m grateful for this literary life I get to live. Reading, writing, taking classes, teaching webinars, having writing friends, being a part of the literary community… all of it! So much of my life is filled with words and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 📚📖💜

My best life hack is that I pair things I don’t want to do with things I do want to do. I read while on the exercise bike & listen to writing podcasts while I do laundry, etc. It really works as motivation!

Happy Valentine's Day! Thank you to @bulbculture.bsky.social for reprinting my love poem "Sanctuary" today! The poem references where I was raised (WV) and where we live now (Pittsburgh). It's also part of my collection that was just released: LIGHTNING IS A MOTHER!

You really have to love the work. Publications, awards, success—they're great, but so fleeting. Yes, set goals. Yes, shoot for the stars. But at the end of the day, you have to find joy in the writing. That's what sustains in the longterm.
