8:06 p.m., on a Thursday, in Porter Square @porter_square_books
.
Super exciting night as a large cadre of poetry fans heard writer @stumpyduong read from “At The End of The World There Is A Pond,” his wonderful book of poems just published by @w.w.norton
.
Hosted by local poet Ida Bakhtiary-Rahimi (who read some of her beautifully evocative and funny poems to start the evening), Steven shared some of his “Novel” sonnets (about the act of creating) and “Curfew,” one of my favorites, and several other poems from this first collection of heart-wrenching, humor-filled poems about, according to Steven, unanswerable questions.
.
There was even some discussion about Steven’s story, “Dorchester,” published in the “2024 Best American Short Stories” collection published by @marinerbooks and edited by @legroff and @heidi_pitlor_editorial
.
WHAT A NIGHT!!!

"One day, I will teach my children to climb / the ladder I am always climbing. / Or I won't. There's a chance / I won't."

AT THE END OF THE WORLD THERE IS A POND by @stumpyduong is a stunning debut volume infused with apocalyptic overload, beginnings and endings, and all the ways we betray ourselves.

Available now wherever books are sold.

book is real! book is real!

insanely excited to share POND with you all in the new year. there are old poems in here and a lot of new ones too. it's so weird to see everything together like this in my little advance copy, it's very pretty but the final hardcover will be even prettier, so keep your eyes peeled. the book comes out on january 14--you can preorder now from wherever you get your books, there's a link in my bio as well. putting in an order in person at your local bookstore is usually the best way.

thank you again for supporting me, reading my poems and stories, saying kind things, being my friend, however it is you choose to know me on here and irl. i appreciate all of it so much.

ps if you know anyone who would be interested in reviewing it, would you lmk? same with any bookstores or event/reading series that might be interested in hosting me next year.... :)))
