    // borderline fortune turns one

    Hard to believe it’s been a whole year since Borderline Fortune came into this world! I’m eternally grateful to the National Poetry Series and Penguin Poets for the opportunity, and I loved crisscrossing the country to spend time in the company of so many thoughtful poets and readers. Amanda Moore helped me cap off the […]

    // best of 2020-2021

    The book world is pretty quiet between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, so this will be one of my final posts of 2021, but I’m excited to share that Borderline Fortune made Entropy magazine’s last “best of” list before it shutters for good (#26!). I have followed the magazine for years, published an essay there in […]

He was particularly enamored with his maternal grandparents’ lines, as he started the research after his mom, my Grandma Alice, died of pancreatic cancer when […]

The photograph is by the mega-talented Brian Adams of Alaska, and I love what Penguin did with the design, which resonates with the poems on multiple levels. Here’s a recent interview with Adams.
