I have read @commonmag since its very first issue, so it's especially sweet to see my conversation with @jarsofshine and @gustav_parker in these pages. Such fun discussing their poetry and experiences in the U.S. and Ireland: thecommononline.org/home-and…

@commonmag weighs in on Proper Imposters and G v P, which is out today: "Each author manages, at various times, to pierce through narrative’s typical strictures into the world of dreams, where fantastical images diagnose with overwhelming clarity the ills of our time."

Thanks to @commonmag for publishing this conversation between my friend Theresa Monteiro and me. We talked about writing poetry that's rooted in domestic spaces and how we can find both mystery and meaning in the quotidian. thecommononline.org/churning…

I wrote this piece in response to The common Weekly Writing Prompt. It kept me writing all last summer— the prompts are great and the stories they share with it are a such an inspiration. Highly recommend!

Elated to have a story in the latest issue of @commonmag, one that went through many changes yet always kept its basic elements: a quinceañera, a Selena soundtrack, and teenagers screaming Worldstar.
Now it’s free to read.
Mil gracias to everyone who helped these words arrive
