Love this 'small' poem by @bamars.bsky.social in @oneart.bsky.social today. The things we remember. The things we forget. To me, a wringer has always been mainly a metaphor--and something I might see in a museum. I loved reading about a literal one. oneartpoetry.com/2025/02/11/t...

I love this poem by Jonathan Fink in Aquifer @theflreview.bsky.social. The way it uses the metaphor of tree rings as an underlying extended metaphor for living, dying, grieving. cah.ucf.edu/floridarevie...

I'm behind on my reading / writing / posting, but thanks so much to Sarah Ann Winn and the editorial team at Little Free Lit Mag for giving my poem "Venn Diagrams" a home. I'm starting to dig in to the issue and loving what's there :) littlefreelitmag.com/tr-poulson-v...

I so love these poems by Kimiko Hahn in @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social . The way she uses form and knows when to break it. The way her poems speak to other writings. www.onlypoems.net/poets/kimiko...

Love this delicious poem by Kale Hensley in Booth. booth.butler.edu/2025/01/03/t...

Love these two by Ange Mlinko. The unique-rhyming sonnet is, on the surface, about the K-PG (dinosaur) extinction--or is it? I love the implications, how the poem asks us to read it metaphorically. Extited to discover @badlilies.bsky.social :) www.badlilies.uk/ange-mlinko

I keep returning to this gem by @thepoettree.bsky.social in @upthestaircase.bsky.social . . .Sometimes we take ourselves way too seriously, and this poem reminds me that poetry can be funny and fun. www.upthestaircase.org/tresha-faye-...

Love this story by @christophercoake.bsky.social. I remember those snow days in Reno. If I never see one again, it will be too soon. Awesome story, though. . . www.newletters.org/souvlaki-by-...

An oldie but goodie by @aestallings.bsky.social. I love the way it mixes mythology, the irony of nature, and rhyme--all in a voice so conversational you have to read it twice to see the rhymes. www.everseradio.com/asphodel-by-...

I'm going to try a little experiment. I love good poetry and fiction. Good poetry and fiction deserves to be promoted. I'm setting the goal of posting a poem or story I love every day. My goal is to start conversations about what I read. If this is successful, I might start a Substack page. . .

I'm grateful to the team at American Literary Review for giving my poem, '573992,' a wonderful home. It's my second poem about the now-deceased truck that kept me sane so many times, and one of many I've written about delivering in the redwoods. americanliteraryreview.com/2024/11/01/t...
