lol when a poem is like, “you thought you could just revise this by tightening up the language?? nope, you need to dig down way deeper into your emotional core again!! good luck!”
If you‘re up to it, reply to this tweet with your favorite poem(s) by a Black poet.
i over-identify with everything. maybe that’s the poet’s condition. i can over-identify with a twig. with the wind. with the sound between them
i’d rather care a lot and feel “too much” and try “too hard” and say everything’s that on my heart than pretend i’m some “cool,” aloof person. i’m not here to not mean it. and by it i mean my life
had to mute some poetry accounts on here. just not interested in grand statements about the power of literature right now. you know, you really don’t need to be capital P Poets 24/7. just eat a reeses peanut butter cup and ugly cry like the mammal you are

League member M.A. Mahadeo reviewed Lenea Grace's debut poetry collection, A Generous Latitude, for our website. "Grace’s debut collection is one to embark on for answers, laughter, and simple truths which we all can relate too." Read it here: poets.ca/2018/06/12/rev…
This is an essay I wrote for @nytimesbooks about something my son Cal and I love to do together: reading. It’s about a joyful life with a child with special needs and how much any two people can really understand about each other. goo.gl/zGcqC5

Word(s) of the day: "flotsam & jetsam" - "flotsam" is marine debris that floats on or in the ocean (from Old French "floter", to float); "jetsam" is marine debris deliberately thrown overboard from a ship (a shortened form of "jettison"). Metaphorically, unsorted odds & ends.
New Yorkers read poetry apparently. W train uptown.
