Laughing poets? Yes—and we need them! I have been listening to the My Bad Poetry podcast @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social while I’m uploading to @cablestreet-litmag.bsky.social today. So funny—especially episide 3.20 with @mvcpoet.bsky.social — right here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... 👇👇👇

Not to be too proud, but if you need a bit of queer trans joy to take your mind off... well, the horrors, think you might enjoy this read ^u^

Eat Me(at) Your Earliest Convenience sets subtext in aspic, & holds us in the styling of women as meat. Through erasure, vispo, & poetry L.M. Cole breaks gaze down like breastbone, asks ‘What of this body so full of offal? What happens to those of us not fit to eat?’

Been taking breaks from grading to cook and clean and generally keep my life together and @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social has been helping with that. This podcast is freakin wholesome and wonderful. Seriously.

If you aren't sick of me yet, here is a new podcast episode of Jessica Gigot's Her Deepest Ecologies with me about parenting, climate and my first book: herdeepestecologies.substack.com/p/episode-11...

@natallman.bsky.social has an absolute beauty of a poem in Poetry Magazine this month

Big Day for the us in The Tallman Fan Club! 🌈

So excited! The time the 3 of us spent talking was so much fun & went in delightful sidebars & tangents (Twin Peaks, salt pellet rifles, the intricacies of cyclone fences, etc.) Longtime fan of the podcast - still feels wild, but so flattered they invited me on. Aaron & Dave are a delight. :)

New episode this week with @clemflowers.bsky.social ! They brought three great bad poems; just vague and specific enough to be lacking in both. But the one they brought at the end... worth the listen! www.mybadpoetry.com/s6e23

Though we missed last week, we do have a new episode blooming tomorrow morning. Too subtle of a hint as to the guest? Well ... at least we planted the seed of anticipation!

So my AP student picked up Yours, Creature by @jessicacuello.bsky.social and saw how Jessica used the creature as entity and conceit for Mary Shelley and whispered "This is so dope!"

#SpotifyWrapped has dropped for 2024. Let us know if we made your Top 10 list this year!! In our eyes, you are all MySpace top 5 material. ;)

I make my dumb jokes on here about poetry publishing (see thread for some of those), but if any of you run poetry presses & like my stuff, I would love to talk. The one manuscript I have under contract is at a struggling press that just pushed it from Nov. 2025 to probably 2027. My two other...

New episode today featuring @sclly21.bsky.social!! www.mybadpoetry.com/thursday-toi...

🩷 A very very very happy release day to "this book will not save you" by nat raum!!! (@gr8earlofhell.bsky.social). Check out their page to see where they're going on TOUR!!! 🩷 print & digital copies available!!

Happy to report that all final four planned recording times of Season 6 have all NEW guests scheduled! If you missed the sign up window... don't worry we will hopefully be back to recording for Season 7 in January. 🤞 In the meantime, enjoy the next month of guests!

New episode today with the great @madelinksi.bsky.social She really did her homework for us and we are soo appreciative! www.mybadpoetry.com/s6e20

Nearly lost the newest episode near the end before final export due to limited disk space, a "corrupt" save, and a crashed editor... after some cursing, prayers, and a needed upgrade to a program.... we may just have a show for tomorrow! And it's a good one with a return guest. 😉

So happy @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social 's book came today from the great @bullshitlit.bsky.social . A collection of old poems and pictures from the past revised and sorted in one beautiful book...yes please!

New Episode today with Professor Lungz!! (aka Seth Perry) A fascinating conversation about creativity, mental health, addiction, and the clarity of recovery. www.mybadpoetry.com/dope-prowl-w...

Tomorrow's episode features a rap song from the indie Vancouver scene in the early 2000s... intrigued?? We were too!

Guess we will be posting far more over here now... because ...obvious reasons. We love you all, please take care of yourselves, and... go write some of your own bad poetry (aka be creative regardless of the results)

Friends, our guest spots are not as full as they were throughout the summer! So we are looking to recruit. Who do you want to hear on the show? Tag a friend, dare a rival, or volunteer yourself. We would love to hear your cringey bad poems (and some of your good stuff too!).

Friends, we have been bad at promoting this amazing episode this week. But don't let our poor posting deter you from picking this for your next listen! Megan McDermott brings four "bad" poems leading to some interesting theological conversations. www.mybadpoetry.com/s6e12
