Immense gratitude to @Deardarkness and @ghazalblues at The New Yorker for this gorgeous treatment of an excerpt from my forthcoming collection, THE FERGUSON REPORT: AN ERASURE! newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

“The Ferguson Report: An Erasure”

A poet redacts the Department of Justice investigation of police bias and brutality in Ferguson, Missouri, revealing larger lyric insights about American life.

This poem by @HoweMariehowe is utterly, truly breathtaking. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

“Reincarnation”

“Sometimes when I look at our dog Jack I think / he might be my Radical American History professor come back to make amends.”

Love, Absence and Loss, Filtered Through Philosophical Poems (Published 2023)

In Brenda Shaughnessy’s collection “Tanya,” the self is fluid and love is “timelessness itself.”

I didn’t know Simic well, but he has been one of “my” poets for a very long time, a touchstone, a beacon, a conscience. The intro he wrote for my Edson book, which he did for free and so beautifully, must have been one of the last (of many) such things he wrote.

It was lovely to reminisce about spending time with Richard Howard in his apartment—thanks @AdrianeQ and @Curbed. I can’t imagine anyone else living there. curbed.com/2023/01/richard-h…

His work combined a melancholy old-world sensibility with a sensual and witty sense of modern life. Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Charles Simic has died at 84. nyti.ms/3vQGN9p

Charles Simic, Pulitzer-Winning Poet and U.S. Laureate, Dies at 84 (Published 2023)

A Serbian-born American, he left the impression in his verse that he had “poked a hole into everyday life to reveal a glimpse of something endless.”

for @nytimes, I wrote about the rise and fall of @astra_mag, plus what it says about funding for literary magazines nytimes.com/2022/12/03/books…

Astra Magazine Had Creative Freedom and a Budget. It Wasn’t Enough. (Published 2022)

The literary journal attracted great names. Its issues sold well. And then it was over — a fate that offers insight into the tenuous place of literary magazines in the American publishing landscape.
