the round up

• i won a raffle!!!!!!! from east fork pottery. could NOT not not not believe it. the email announcing it felt like seeing a quadruple rainbow. or like a rainbow ending right at your house, in your house. have i ever won anything before? a: NO.
• thinking a lot about this feeling — it’s scary to finally get to the / a place you’ve longed for. raises all kinds of failure and fear feelings (for me).
• “Past Prime is a dead fucking serious diversion for Matty Wishnow & Steve Collins.”
• isn’t the name of poet jean valentine so great?
• and isn’t this poem of hers so great and sad
• this poem is also great or mostly i just love the line “like a postcard from someone / who calls himself your uncle”
