nature has a habit
of getting into things

a root
through concrete

rain
through a badly shut window

your name
through me

however carefully
I keep it out

i learned to give before
i learned to notice the giving
no one taught me

supposed to stop

Neilson’s debut collection — only just now reading it, though I’ve known his work for years — is distinct, vibrant, and daring. He tackles his themes — men’s mental health, love — unapologetically.

e. e. cummings is one of my favorite poets. I just reread today, the very first poem of his I read. #poetrysky #poetry

So happy that "A Villanelle's Villanelle," the contoured villanelle Kerry Trautman and I wrote using Grace Bauer's "For Her Villain," is featured in Thimble Vol. 9, No. 2!

The September 2026 full moon, known as the Harvest Moon, is tonight.

'The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right,
White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
With the O-gape of complete despair. I live here.'

- Sylvia Plath

September 26 2026
Some Losses Rewire
You Permanently
I don’t try to undo
that anymore.
I adapt.
I listen to the new
shape of my heart.
It beats differently now.
Still beats.

The poems in THE AFTER-DEATH HISTORY OF MY MOTHER involve the work of mourning. They come to terms with mortality and reparation for acute loss in surreal, dream-like encounters between the living and the departed.
