Feels like a dream to see my new piece that wrestles with masculinity, fatherhood, and lineage as today’s featured poem for the Academy of American Poets’ iconic Poem-a-Day series.
Heartfelt gratitude to Willie Perdomo (an impossible bar of literary brilliance & citizenship) for selecting it. I can never overstate the transformative impact of my mentors at Warren Wilson and beyond who indirectly made this poem, and all the new poems, possible.
Thank you in advance to every single person who shares, listens, reads, or teaches this poem. You can listen to a crisp studio recording of me reciting it if you click the “audio” link.
My publisher just confirmed that new copies of “Fractures” arrived in stock earlier this week, so the book order link should work (if you’ve been meaning to get it!).
Lastly, I’m lining up event dates and artist residencies for this fall now, so if you want to host me at your independent school, college, law firm, or company DM me ASAP.
Much love & gratitude,
Carlos
