https://t.co/nsMUV6tHgF @fidespunica 😮💨 @samforbreakfast God I'm so glad you say that because there is really no appropriate moment to say "I know you're sad, but your emoji choice is incorrect" you know https://t.co/LsUImQUTwe look idk who needs to hear this but the droplet in the 😪 emoji is a snot bubble, not a tear @ACSomwaru @aaww @SkunkBabePoet Thank you for sharing your work through The Margins, Ashley ❤️ the legendary @Nic_Sealey @samforbreakfast @porkbellypress ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🍾🎈💐😭✨ yesss sam!!! @curvi_k Happy birthday!!🎂🎉🎈 The Margins @aaww’s assistant poetry editor @SkunkBabePoet launches her book soon!! 🍾 I trust Ayesha’s poetic sensibility greatly and hope you consider preordering a copy of Coining a Wishing Tower. You won’t regret it!! @PaddingtonF Thank you for sharing💕🌷 Even the method of communication feels too easy & maybe inappropriate. I'm not saying we shouldn't show love/support, or discouraging texting, but for me it doesn't feel like the right form for expression right now & I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe others feel the same. My God. The killing of Christina Yuna Lee in Manhattan's Chinatown. An Asian woman murdered in an Asian neighborhood. I began texting a friend who lives in that area and stopped. What can we say to each other? "Take care"? What does that even mean? I don't know. I just don't know A love poem written from when I was flying a lot, to read from my book to strangers & friends, to cross the ocean to be with my spouse--what a time! From the April 2020 issue of @poetrymagazine . https://t.co/JxoR0XxCaL @_joseolivarez Happy birthday!!! @TianaClarkPoet Happy birthday, Tiana!!! Raising a glass for you from the middle of the pacific ocean. ❤️ @_emilyluan @Poetry_Society @rocketfantastic Beautiful!! Full essay, trans, Soyun Lee, here: https://t.co/IFrYA8wqnP Poets. We need to bring this back.

https://t.co/SqqT0hw2ZV @MysoreMeghana @aaww So grateful you sent poems to us! @speakdeadly @DustinKPearson @alexanderchee we'll gas up the clown car again! @speakdeadly shout-out to Paula the Party Planner for putting the McD's drive-thru in the schedule (for driving into the next town to get birthday cakes for @DustinKPearson & @alexanderchee )! I forgot how funny it is that when writers say "Bread Loaf" it refers to a place and conference One of my favorite memories with my teacher Yusef Komunyakaa is when we were at Bread Loaf and, telling him that friends & I went to McDonalds earlier that day, I joked "well *I* got the Filet-o-Fish because I'm *fancy*!" and he looked sooo aghast & shook his head @MeanMisterKien hope you have a g o o d birthday @MayaCPopa Happy birthday!!! Parasite feels like forever ago but sometimes I think about how good its editing (by Yang Jin-mo) is, and appreciate all editors who push superb works into yet another height. The attention to detail AND the pacing of the whole, like wow But in New York, my father opens

#poetrytuesday My friends are gearing up to open a jewelry shop and I had the honor of being photographed with some pieces😙 Please consider following @ la.hikina on Instagram for more photos of bling as they prepare to open for business✨✨✨ https://t.co/iwSoc0WmXl Thank you so much for reading and sharing!!🥰 I think about this often; the best student eval for me is when they say the class felt like a family. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have my community during my creative and scholarly pursuits. Finding support can be hard so when my class provides that space...😭💗 As ordinary as an apology may be, I marry only

ERROR: type should be string, got "https://t.co/kox8bDyqpC @SimoneStolzoff I empathize with the anxiety of waiting! BTW, I still remember you performing a love poem back in 2013 at Penn--it had stars and, I think, a line about having a spot on your shoulder for the love? I remember you were smiling during that line, as you touched your own shoulder! Even if we missed the opportunity to publish your work, please keep writing and I hope that I can see your name and your words again, whether in my capacity as editor for The Margins, or as a reader elsewhere✨ Frankly, reading subs requires a lot of focus & energy, not to mention time, and I'm a full-time PhD candidate, which alone is very draining. But I also feel fulfilled & inspired as I read. Just knowing that there are all these poets, mostly new names to me, is so exciting I want to take this space to thank contributors for their patience. We have a faster response time (often within a few weeks if not days) but because we publish one poet per week, the schedule fills up fast & many poets get published 6+ months after the point of acceptance. We replied to all The Margins poetry subs from the past reading period. I'm grateful for the hundreds (!) of poets who trusted us to read their work & sent words of love for @aaww. I wish we had infinite time & space to edit & feature all. But we were able to accept 9.8% of subs.

And pebbles gleamed. Startled by hard waves,

We were as identical as stones rubbed smooth.

Black tides of a newborn swelling,

I prayed to be where I wanted to be from.

https://t.co/g8YJ8RMIsm No matter how convincing a tv show is, it loses all realism for me when a character sits in the middle seat in the back of the car I might stare out of one of the windows,

imagine the ocean blue. Or, say, when cleaning
|
up a toddler’s vomit, I might yearn
|
for a less solitary life.
