I just had someone call the wrong number, which is actually pretty charming after all the AI robocalls.

My new book Ace Theory arrived on my doorstep yesterday, just starting to make its way into the world. It’s a book-length essay in fragments about asexuality and compulsory sexuality. I hope you’ll give it a look.

“Funny and formally adventurous…” Miles Forrester reviews Jessi MacEachern’s Cut Side Down, a playful collection of adventures and encounters with imaginary characters, drawing on writers like Virginia Woolf. Read the full review here: buff.ly/MGi8QDi

It's weird as a poet to be putting out a nonfiction book. I just got asked if X number of copies was going to be enough for my book launch. I don't know, if I sold X copies of any of my poetry books at any reading it's like the poetry equivalent of a New York Times bestseller.

Decafternoon? Is that something?

I just got word that my forthcoming book Ace Theory has just arrived from the printers a little early. It officially launches October 27. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person! (If you place an order now, I think it still counts as a preorder, so you can get a bit of a discount.)

Happy one-year anniversary to my most recent book of poetry No Depression in Heaven, about country music and the end times 🎉🎉🎉

Still true three years later

The introduction to my book is now available online, thanks @dukepress.bsky.social 🫶 The official pub date is in October www.dukeupress.edu/content-mach....

I rode Calgary Transit yesterday and the robot voice at the LRT station said "Giddy up!" My soul started to leave my body at that moment.
