The continuing story. Don't miss a single scifi beat on my substack. #sciencefiction #scifi #space #aliens buchly.substack.com/p/unschedule...

Well this was tough. Just 9 books. So many honorable mentions. I also noted that this makes it look like I don't read recent books which is definitely not true. But these are the 9 that most stayed with me, I think. #books #amreading #ninebooks

Thrilled to have a poem in The Charleston Anvil for their summer ‘26 issue. This one is a golden shovel, a form I love working in. The Charleston Anvil is a black-and-white zine-style journal filled with equally brilliant and quirky writing and art. #poetrycommunity #poem #poetryzine #goldenshovel

I drove up to Durant yesterday and joined the open mic at Lost Street Poets hosted by Ron Wallace. Lots of fun. Ben Meyers was the featured reader, an outstanding poet who read poems about his youth, fatherhood and the dust bowl. #poetrycommunity #poetryreading #openmic Photo credit: Jana Taylor

Super enjoyed reading some poems at Slow Lightning at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center this week. Thanks for having me as the featured reader and to the other great poets who read. (Check out their open mic every second Wenesday.) #poetrycommunity

Want to catch some poetry from my new book? I'll be the featured reader tomorrow at the Slow Lightning open mic at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center at 7 p.m. (Wednesday, 9/8/26) #poetrycommunity #poetryreading #lesssquinting

If an AI detector ever tags any of my writing with AI use, it won't be because I used AI in my writing. It will be because LLMs were trained on my writing. Where do you think AI used to learn em-dashes? Someday when I travel to the epicenter of the AI singularity, I will encounter myself.

#DentonPoetsAssembly launched our “When Poets Meet Again” anthology. Kudos to Susan Campbell and Christine Irving for a well curated collection. 6 of my poems are in the book, including a Maxine Kumin golden shovel. www.amazon.com/Poets-Again-... #poetrycommunity #poetry @poetrysocietyoftexas.org

Check out Isssue 36 of Blackbox Manifold. I have 3 poems in it: “planted,” “the relationship diminishing,” and “golden fruit.” I especially enjoyed poems by Dr. Alicia Byrne Keane & Ashik Kahina. @alexhouen.bsky.social #poetry #poetrycommunity #BlackboxManifold blackboxmanifold.sites.sheffield.ac.uk

I just got my copy of the Elizabeth Royal Patton Poetry Prize Anthology 2025, for which my poem "a world," inspired by a line from Adrienne Rich, made the longlist. My favorite poem in the book is entitled "Basil" by poet Sara Ries Dziekonski. #poetrycommunity #poetry #ClareSongbirds

PST's Book of the Year is out! A lot of great poetry here, but also maybe, it has 6 of my poems - two on the topic of kindness and two of my space poems (part of a chapbook manuscript). (Poetry doesn't have to add up.) #poetry #poetrycommunity #astronomy #kindness @poetrysocietyoftexas.org
