World’s Best Erasure Poet

Because writing is srs bzns.

I bought myself for myself: nicolesteinberg.com.

I thought it might be nice to have a space where I can post new work and stuff that I find inspiring and to talk about writing, if and when the mood strikes me. I’ll still be using this blog for my usual barrage of Chris Evans gifs, among other things. So, if you are a srs writer and you are turned off by endless photos of corgis and John Cho, you can follow my other site instead (also managed through tumblr). Or you can follow BOTH and get the full scope of my brain, which may or may not be advisable.

Very pleased to have that domain name. It used to belong to a graphic designer. I’m sorry, other NS, but the domain, she is mine now.

You really should fly to Corpus Christi sometime.
These people have a firm belief in sandals.
The young men like talking loudly about Soulja Boy: The Movie
(whatever that is). Most of them seem
to go to the University of Texas
and have bad facial hair.
Who knows where they got their grooming…

Paul K. Tunis, whose Omphaloskepsis is a recurring webcomic series at Moonshot Magazine, worked on a gorgeous new comic with Melissa Broder at The Rumpus. Devour it!

The secret entrance to my heart

is at the foot of the pine tree

in the backyard. If you want

to wiggle your affections into

Cassandra’s heart, well, I’m sorry,

I don’t know about her secret

entrance. If you want to talk

about cleavage, I will give you

my honest opinion. I know…

notwithstanding the foregoing: Also, a lot of poetry just confuses me. →

I try. I try to understand but metaphor wrapped in simile wrapped in allegory wrapped in analogy is too hard.

I feel like we need a poetry Tim Gunn to come in and tell people when they need to pull it back because it’s overworked.

Some of it is magical and wonderful and…

#yes nicole I’m talking to you

The dream of America’s Next Top Poet lives on! Or Project Poetry?

I’d volunteer to be Tim Gunn but that means I would have to be nice. I’d rather be Heidi Klum. “WE ASKED YOU FOR A CHARMING SESTINA AND YOU GAVE US A DULL, LIFELESS PANTOUM. YOU ARE OUT. AUF WIEDERSEHEN. RELEASE THE HOUNDS.”

The lovely Susannah Wexler has written up the equally lovely Nicole Steinberg’s Getting Lucky series—part of which appeared in Moonshot Magazine—a couple weeks ago for Sadie Magazine. This is just all kinds of genius.

This is so great. Thank you, Rohin, darling boy, for making it happen.

This is radical. Bay Area press Birds of Lace gets big-upped on ModCloth today.

Last month, Nicole Steinberg was one of our four featured readers at the Moonshot Magazine Holiday Party. One of the series she read from was her Getting Lucky series, where she pulled copy from previous issues of Lucky Magazine to put together provocative and sometimes hilarious poems. You can read them here and listen to Steinberg read them aloud.

This crazy person also just tweeted at Lucky Magazine about all this and ahhhhhh. I’m going to have to start posting stuff here other than corgis and Chris Pine.

Thank you again, Rohin & Moonshot. All the love.
