today's short from @zackstrait is so perfectly, weirdly, wonderfully, quintessentially "HAD-y." what a gem!

Hi everyone! I’ve finished assembling my first poetry manuscript and am looking for presses who charge very little to submit or don’t charge at all. Thank you for any help!
So glad to have been introduced to William Bronk via Christian Wiman’s “The Drift of the World” in the June 2020 issue of @poetrymagazine. Here’s a stunner from their May 1955 issue:
So blessed to have a poem in the new issue of @commonmag, one of the most consistently beautiful magazines around. Thank you to John Hennessy, @Public_Emily, and everyone at the magazine.

“hello, ten course meal of my dreams that starts // with a meat platter of roasted pork, and how the guests go crazy for the abalone and swallow’s / nest soup with crab meat”—@dorothykchan, November 2019 @poetrymagazine

So blessed to have a prose poem in the new issue of @coppernickel. Huge thanks to all the editors and staff.
Yesterday at 7:58 A.M., the love of my life gave birth to our son, Noah Caspian Strait. We are so blessed and so in love. Our lives will never be the same, in the most amazing way.
