Not sure who's still over here, but I have a new book of poetry out 11/4 that I'm psyched about. It probably won't help the fall of mankind, but pre-ordering your fav authors' books WILL help the fall of publishing and help preserve non-AI art. Doesn't have to be my book!

As someone forever in awe of what our minds do with language—and what language, in turn, does with our minds—of how thought emerges through linguistic intentionality, I find it increasingly difficult to make sense of how easily we have chosen to outsource this part of ourselves.

Lord, I confess I want the clarity of catastrophe but not the catastrophe. Like everyone else, I want a storm I can dance in. I want an excuse to change my life. - Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On
