The Good Omens gods above have blessed me, I finally found The Crow Road in my local used books store. Been looking for months but since it’s out of print it’s been a real treasure hunt.

Honorable mention to the used copy of Crush by Richard Siken that also came home with me today ✌🏻

richard siken posted this coloring worksheet today and i think it has some pretty good questions for engaging with poetry. and also deep sea fish :)

sometimes i get richard siken and richard scarry confused in my head which has made for a few interesting literary conversations

This was funnier in my head.

also I’m sorry.

i've never seriously read any of his works so richard siken only lives in my mind as "the old guy on tumblr who said he'd write johnlock fanfic and then ghosted us" which is i think a very funny way to think about a man who won a national endowment for the arts fellowship

i think he had a stroke a while back, dimly recall reading about that. could have something to do with not being as active on socmed.
