A tremendous honor to be named one of this year’s 2025 NEA fellows. So much gratitude to the judging committee for their faith in these new poems.

"This is a moving memoir that had me up til 2:00 am finishing it. Heartbreaking and insightful, it opened my eyes to issues around neurodiversity and love."-Carol on Goodreads

A MAP OF FUTURE RUINS is about many things, including how I got lost within my profession as a journalist. I wrote about that crisis — and how I found my way back again—here for @lithub
@LaurenMarkham_ on why she almost quit journalism (and what made her come back).

Thank you for sharing!
Sometimes at @adroitjournal we get to publish something truly special on our blog, like Geffrey Davis's essay "Going to the Body: Meditations on Poetry and Boxing." Don't miss this one.
Geffrey's new book from @boaeditions is titled ONE WILD WORD AWAY.

My inner maniacal tech-bro speaks again. Thank you to the wonderful people at @zyzzyvamag for publishing these new poems, @McMurtrieSF and @ovillalon especially. I admire Zyzzyva so much. It's a thrill to have poems published there.

I've known @VChangPoet since we were kids (practically). It was such a thrill talking to her about her new book, WITH MY BACK TO THE WORLD, from @fsgbooks, for @poetswritersinc.
Happy book birthday, Victoria!
