@stagehandpoet Often! I also find myself wanting a complication/turn/surprise. Been thinking about this Gerald Stern quote (by way of Saunders) "If you start out to write a poem about two dogs fucking, and you write a poem about two dogs fucking – then you wrote a poem about two dogs fucking."

Following up the awesome AWP @hexliterary reading with @_katemcintyre’s awesome MAD PRAIRIE this weekend. This third story in the collection, “The Tunnel,” is such a knockout. https://t.co/6WQrt4jw7w

@jessesposato @lusternotpolish Lydia Conklin’s collection, Rainbow Rainbow, is all great, and I think “The Black Winter of New England” specifically was my fave and also maybe most fits?

Benoit Blanc reads Ben Marcus' New American Stories in the bath?! Which story is his fave, do you think? I hope he loves Coover's "Going for a Beer" as much as I do! https://t.co/4xiFbavq4Q

Spent a few hours on the couch yesterday and a few more again this morning with this. Can’t remember the last time I read a book in two days. Wow, what a knockout.

Sometimes something will happen, and I’ll go, “oh yeah, we published (x)!!” (Where (x) is some badass writer or another.) (Tonight, that happened with Etgar Keret. (In the issue that had two stories in BASS (Roxane Gay & Mike Meginnis). & Brian Evenson w Lily Hoang. &&&… nbd.)) https://t.co/8b4NWTf5SP

@misternagel @kylerseibel Have you read Now is Not the Time to Panic, Mike? I liked it even more, tho might be in the minority with that opinion, and maybe it is just even more perfectly aimed right at me, but all Kevin Wilson is great! (His story collection is an all-timer for me.)

@ninadawdles Yes! Levin is one of my fave writers! And McCracken's was one of my fave books I read last year! I read it back-to-back with Danielle Evans' The Office of Historical Corrections, which, if you haven't read: HUGE rec!!
