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!!!

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.... :)))

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
