Thanks so much to the editors of Poetry Daily for featuring "Your New World" as the poem of the day today. It originally appeared in the latest issue of The Southern Review.

You can read the poem here.

Thanks so much to the editors of DASH for picking up a poem from the new project I’m working on. “After the Bomb” will appear in their next issue, scheduled for May.

Big thanks to the editors of Field for taking two poems from my new project. “Each Night We Wandered” and “Until You Never” will appear in an upcoming issue. I’ve been a fan of this journal for years, so I’m especially thrilled to have my work appear in its pages.

I had a terrific time reading at the YMCA Downtown Writers’ Center in Syracuse on Friday. Thanks so much to the director of the Writers’ Center, Phil Memmer, for being a wonderful host. It was a treat to read with my old friend Elaine Sexton and share our work with such an engaged audience.

Thank you to Suzanne Nussey for taking a closer look at my poem “Relic” for Image’s Poetry Friday feature. I love it when a close reader shows me things happening in a poem that I wasn’t fully conscious of when writing. You can check it out here.

Thanks to editor Lorraine Healy for including my prose poem "Italian Coffee" in an upcoming anthology of poems about coffee. The anthology is due out from World Enough Writers in late 2018.

Thanks so much to editor George David Clark for picking up two new poems for the next issue of 32 Poems. "Pipistrello" and "Once Our Garden" are from a new project I'm working on called Each Night We Wandered.

Sun & Urn, Christopher Salerno’s latest book of poems, is filled with grief and loss—including the big three of modern life: infertility, divorce and death. But deep down, it’s also a tender, sometimes funny, ultimately hopeful book. This seemed like the perfect book with which to end my run as an interviewer for the Ploughshares blog—and this series the perfect excuse to get in touch with a poet whose work I’ve read with interest for a long time. You can read the interview here.

And catch up with the whole three-year run of interviews — featuring Paisley Rekdal, Ciaran Carson, Marianne Boruch, Naoko Fujimoto, Tomas Q. Morin and many more — over here.

I'm excited to head over to Poe Park on the 18th to read from Dear Almost and talk about my writing with Charlie Vazquez, the director of the Bronx Writers Center. It's a special thrill to participate in an event hosted by the Parks Department, which named my reading a "Must See Event"! 

Paisley Rekdal’s writing explores identity in its many facets: the experiences and influences that make us who we are and all the ways we shape, and are shaped by, our world. I’ve read her work for years, so it was a special treat to get to ask her about her poems for the Ploughshares blog for this interview -- my next-to-last one in this series.
