The program is set for the @barrelhouse.bsky.social conference in DC on 4/12/25 and there's something for everyone: craft workshops & panels on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, publishing, writing life (and how to manage it in All This Bullshit). Hope to see you there! www.barrelhousemag.com/conference

Have a new essay on here about Haydn, Joplin and failing at piano lessons when I was seven. Great issue.

Watching those old Tyson highlights, I think about how amazing it was when Buster Douglas beat Tyson. I worked with his brother later on at St. Stephen’s Community Center in Linden and sometimes he’d wear the championship ring to work because he helped train Buster.
