Mood. #AWP #Baltimore #Bookfair

👏👏👏

It's a purty one tho...nicely done! And, why not? I did one as much to keep myself on track as anything else, lol

Couple of years ago, tired of schlepping a big purse & a backpack around AWP, I picked up a little lightweight spinner I can wheel books & more to & from any venue & it's changed my life! Oh, & I'll have books & lots more, coming & going. Looking forward to meeting you, Baltimore!

I'll try to stop by the Split Lip booth to say hi if you'll be there!

It was the first & only time I've seen one at my feeder! Somehow the Nest camera just happened to capture it!

A Review of Sarah Carey’s Bloodstream Bloodstream, Sarah Carey’s sophomore poetry collection, comes shortly after her full-length debut, The Grief Committee Minutes, published in 2024 from Saint Julien Press. With forty years in jour…

Deeply honored & indescribably grateful to the uber talented writer & poet, @charismorgan.bsky.social , for her deeply insightful review of Bloodstream, now live in @adroitjournal.bsky.social. To be read & seen like this is such a gift!

Bluebird! Male downy woodpecker! Downy telling cardinal what for! Does it get any better than this??

quite simply, no.

Ahhhhh Rebecca! How do you do all you do, & still find time to lift other poets up so much? Also. You sure know how to pick the good company...
Love, your lifelong friend & fan✨✨✨

Good one!😂

How can this have been five months ago, Eric?!

Woke to find my dark little poem featured as @christiancentury.bsky.social 's Poem of the Week. Feels like an appropriate day for it. 🙏 to CC & poetry editor, Jill Baumgaertner, to @kavetchnik.bsky.social for opening my eyes to the sonnenizio, & to @kimaddonizio.bsky.social who created the form.

What even IS IT about that. Like, it is it a universal law that you can never write right, right out of the gate?🤷‍♀️

I'd never taught a poetry workshop before the 6-week one I just finished leading at The Lynx bookstore here in Gainesville, so I can't compare it with anything else. It was an "all levels welcome" class,& most were novices. I learned so much from each of them tho & they worked so hard!

Thank you for sharing this. I tend to think first of habitat loss via development, as that's what's in my backyard (vs. pesticide toxicity etc & ag land use.) I worry the studies themselves (& their science) are in danger, so how will we even know what's truly happening in the future?

WRITING MATTERS: An Interview with Sarah Carey, author of BLOODSTREAM Photo credit: Adrienne Fletcher I try to cultivate the art of paying attention—to my own emotions and feelings but also to what I see and sense in the world around me. In today’s WRITING MATTERS po…

Grateful to the team at Mercer University Press for featuring this interview with me on their Writing Matters blog! It was fun to consider their questions & reflect on not just the poems in Bloodstream, but my writing process, why poetry matters & how I've learned to talk about it.

PS if you have a street team or other resources
I can leverage for my new poetry book, lmk! 😉

If you've got those lists of reviewers & promotional opportunities lined up already, you are in good shape! Things will open up the closer you get + post-pub that you can't even predict right now. (This is something I've learned.) Your energy is going in right direction. Just let yourself relax!

Best Literary Journals to Submit to If You… Where to send your poetry and short fiction

Found this online: writingcooperative.com/best-literar...

From personal experience: Palette Poetry & Frontier Poetry pay. Grist. Salamander, but they're on hiatus. The Christian Century. Duotrope isn't free, but has all kinds of pertinent stats, (fastest response rate, approachable eds, whether journals pay, etc.) which make it worth it to me.

awesome! would hate to see frozen seed go to waste!

Can't believe AWP is less than 2 weeks away! Here's where you can find me & my books. Grateful to Bear Review, Sugar House Review & Kestrel for hosting me for book signings. Stop by to say hi!

A group of students, men and women, are standing and kneeling in front of the Lynx bookstore sign for a photo that was taken inside of the store at the end of a student showcase reading on Feb. 19. Students from the two workshops, which were offered by the store in the previous six weeks, studied poetry and fiction with instructors Sarah Carey and Sarah Anderson.

How can it be over?! My poetry workshop, and Sarah Anderson's fiction workshop, culminated officially on Thursday evening with a student showcase reading at @thelynxbooks.bsky.social on Thursday evening. It was powerful, it was magical, & the students all outdid themselves!

Incredible reporting by @katherineeban.bsky.social & @rollingstone.com

this made me laugh out loud!

Y'all been busy!:) I was so proud to be included in the Off-Site, On Purpose reading last year, reading for SWWIM, but hearing such powerful new voices. Unforgettable! My flight gets in later on Wednesday, so pretty sure I'll miss it, but I'll be there if I can!

A quote from Ada Limon to Sarah Carey's poetry students from her workshop at The Lynx Books states "Keep writing and fostering joy. Joy is how we find courage to meet the moment with action. It's not just about making a poem, it's about making a life we can live in without fear."

Sometimes you've just gotta make the ask. We got lucky!The theme of my poetry workshop, which concludes tom. eve with a reading at @thelynxbooks.bsky.social, was writing joy & gratitude in poetry. The great Ada Limon had these words for my students. I hope they hold them as closely as I will.

Buttered bread (even better, buttered rosemary bread) is the very richest & most replenishing staff of life.
