on a corner scrap of envelope flap, Emily Dickinson wrote "there are Apartments in our own Minds that we never enter without Apology—" and I think that's the poem I've been writing my whole life.

"Debt and inheritance are major themes in Four in Hand. One way to look at them is as another form of constraints."

Every Poem is an Advent — Day 20
Poem by @HiGroundCoward from her book FOUR IN HAND published by @boaeditions
not to brag but after gym class today a lady said “you have a really good jump, what’s up with that? like a competition-level broad jump.” so that’s prettttty much a wrap on 2024
thinking about that time in High Ground Coward i referred to psychotherapy as "a series of shut and unshut doors." wonder what my analyst thought of that.

poetry profs— if you’re looking to fill the formal, ecopoetics, long poem, lesbian, found text blank verse, lyric imagist, or sonnet crown gap on your syllabus, my book “FOUR IN HAND” might do it for ya. students dig it and it’s a solid teaching tool 📚boaeditions.org/products/fou…
had a dream last night that i was a little brown chickadee and one of my wings was a full sleeve of tattoos
it can be a good and necessary thing to step away from poetry for a while (or forever). when it’s right to write, the poems will be there. littlepatuxentreview.org/201…
poets and profs— if you were teaching a MFA seminar on Titans of Style, which poets (or books?) would have a spot on your syllabus? i have too many options! decision paralysis! what say you?
