“And so the poet, too, needs a poem, to remind herself of the unpublished work, life waking to its first pulse, body rising toward inklings of light, the heart stirring itself open, already knowing it will break.”

from “unpublished work”


Since June 2005, I have kept a short-form writing practice I call “10-line Tuesday.” The practice is simple—I compose an original short-form poem each week and send it out via email newsletter to subscribers. To date, I have written more than 1,000 of these poems. While I have, in the past year, slowly migrated away from the constraint of the 10-line form, I still send out a new poem every week. Below you’ll find a collection of several years’ worth of my short-form poems. Click on the dates to read each poem.
