Hey, we’ve survived another week! Goose raises her tail to celebrate!

As always, thank you all for supporting me! Subscriptions make it possible for me to write this blog…so if you are enjoying my writing, consider getting a paid subscription, so I can keep writing about politics, movies, poetry, and who knows what else (next week: cuckoo bird politics and Langston Hughes!)

And here’s everything I published last week.

If You Read One Thing By Me This Week, Read:

My new chapbook, No Devotions, featuring Mary Oliver erasures and garbling. (LJMCD Communications)

It’s free! Download it right here!
