Last year I became a parent for the second (and last!) time, and my writing practice slid from slow to nonexistent, which is why I’m so grateful to my friend, Anthony Garrett, who I met at Tin House Winter Workshop last year, for allowing me to submit work previously published at a now defunct, beloved journal, Entropy, to the new literary magazine co-founded by himself and Joely Fitch, atmospheric lit. A literary journal devoted to cloud-like writing, in the inaugural issue editor’s note, Anthony writes, “atmospheric quarterly arises from a craving for writing that reads everything other than the borders drawn on literary maps, from an excitement about literature that refuse its own calcification.” If you know me, you know that’s my writer’s siren call.

Please read the whole gorgeous issue at the link above! My three micros can be found here. It is a special honor to have the first piece, “the moon is far away yet it sways the tide,” selected as the April 7, 2024 featured poem at Poetry Daily.
