Happy Good Dress Day! I truly could not have asked for a better press to bring my baby into the world. The entire Tin House team has been AMAZING, but I am especially grateful for Beth, Becky, Jacqui, Isabel, and my awesome editor Alyssa!!! This process has been a dream 🫶🏿

RESTING BITCH FACE received a Starred Review from @PublishersWkly!!!!! 😭😭😭😭 Feeling so so grateful for this early love today!!
The penetrating latest from Byas addresses the conflict between the observer and the observed. This astute and ingenious collection shines. @softskull

Resting Bitch Face comes out in just a FEW months with an August 26th release (and don't forget, it's a September pick for Roxane Gay's Audacious Book Club)! Want me to come read in your city, talk to your students, perform at your school/venue, chat about my work? Email me!!
Did you forget them so easily?
As you cheer for ICE as they snatch children from churches and schools, do not pretend you're not cheering for this. Look at them again as you jump for joy. Do not pretend you are not causing this.

Reminder to anyone in the Chicago Area - I'll be down at Printer's Row tomorrow as part of Maud Lavin's READINGS Series. We're going to do a fun reading with some other great writers! Cozy up at the wine bar with your new favorite poets, starting at 2 PM.
If you're in the Chicago area, I'm excited to announce I'll be at @lavinmaud 's READINGS series at Printers Row! I'll share some poems from OHIO RADIO and some of my newest work.
See you January 18, Chicago readers ❤️ 📚
Two bots immediately liked my tweet about my upcoming reading in Chicago. I wonder if they'll make it.

Thank you to David Dodd Lee at THE GLACIER.
I've mostly been doing the fiction thing this year, but I am so pleased to be part of Issue 3.
So here they are. My only published poems of 2024, but they're a doozy...

Now I just have to find which of you are over at the other place. Because social media is no fun with nobody there, and here is like watching The Sound of Music as the von Trapp family do the so long farewell to the Salzburg Music Festival.

Just a reminder for anyone in the Mansfield area - tomorrow I'll be doing a reading and book signing with the English Club at OSU Mansfield Campus.
Hope to see you there!

Dear Publishing Industry,
This is where you double down. This is when you publish POC, LGBTQ, trans, and disabled authors more than ever.
Don’t be complicit.

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."
