I have a new feature on the long afterlife of family separation in this week’s @nymag A lot of families still aren’t reunited. The ones who are face another daunting challenge: confronting radically altered lives amidst a still uncertain future. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

“I often think that the responsibility of the poet is to strive to become the memory that people may possess in the future about what it means to be human.” Palestinian-American poet Fady Joudah (@FadyJoudah) on the war in Gaza and lyric testimony: yalereview.org/article/fady-j…


I’ve got a poem in @Sierra_Magazine about my favorite combo, yearning while hiking. With much gratitude to @aimeenez for the inclusion! sierraclub.org/sierra/2023-4-…

I have an essay in @lithub today! 😊 Initially inspired by an uncanny resemblance I saw between lines in @kim_addonizio and @nattyrao 's New Year poems resisting resolution, "Beyond Resolution" explores the poetic impulse to resist resolution through New Year poems across time.

"As the New Year opens with its influx of resolution-oriented language—self-help guides, discounted fitness equipment, tips for following through—I choose to follow the poets." @niusteph considers the New Year poem as an act of resistance. lithub.com/beyond-resolut…

Years before ever seeing California, I wrote a story titled “Oakland in Rain.”  Rain served as an easy metaphor for the unexpected in a place known for abundance, and it provided a texture of melancholy. —Aria Aber @AriaAber #PoemADay poets.org/poem/oakland-r…
