on a perhaps larger philosophical note, having been an educator since 2009, i have found that focusing on literally anything other than trying to root out the rare student “gaming the system” brings great inner peace and better teaching. design to include.

COVER REVEAL! Late to the Search Party is out 5/6/25 @ScribnerBooks not to be dramatic but writing this book almost killed me, then saved my life. if you’ve ever read, shared, taught these poems, you’ve echoed the proof of my surviving. thank you so much🫀❤️‍🔥🔦

Thanks to Melissa Bissonette and @histnovsoc for this thoughtful feature on my book, and what it has to say about how historical fiction has changed over the last several decades—and how it has changed American literature writ large! historicalnovelsociety.org/authentically-…

Paradise on Earth…fading. Every picture many details. How long the walk. Whose shirt? And the photographer who insists that they smile.

Took me half my life to know which words to use. Many years to put them in the right order. Excited to share LATE TO THE SEARCH PARTY with you in 2025. Buckets of gratitude to so many that made this possible. My heart is full.

After an extensive open call for poetry in 2023, Scribner has selected two new poets to add to our growing program: Steven Espada Dawson (@stevenespadaw) and Diamond Forde (@poemsandcake). We're thrilled to publish their upcoming collections.

GRIEF IS A SUDDEN ROOM bu MARGARET RAY Grief is a sudden room. After flailing around, breaking all the furniture inside it for years, you can think you’ve shut the ancient door behind you, but the latch hasn’t worked… @mbrrray @boaeditions @TheFLReview bit.ly/Ray-GriefIsASu…


Anyone need a poet for an AWP panel proposal? 🥸 I once again have not managed to write my own proposals since this deadline coincides w a deadline at work of grading all the papers...
