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…
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…
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.

Thank you again, Rohin & Moonshot. All the love.
It’s not often I get to quote such a nice thing about my work. It simultaneously makes me want to trill in delight and hide under my bed, going, “noooooo stopppp.”
Thanks to Sivan Butler-Rotholz for featuring me in her Saturday Poetry Series, after she saw me read last month, and to Moonshot for making that reading happen. Generous spirits, all of them.

Described in an email blast today as “Philadelphia’s very own Nicole Steinberg.”
A female of two cities.
This is definitely one to watch. In addition to Taaca’s want badly coming out Summer 2011, they’ve already issued Nicole Steinberg’s Birds of Tokyo and I did hear whispers of Birds of Lace publisher Gina Abelkop cooking something up with them.

This guy.
So exciting about Gina and Tricia! I’m in some awesome company.
