I wonder how many of those felons-can't-vote laws will change now.

This is going to be epic!

Feeling this so much. Hugs and light to @likaluca who was doing god's work in publishing.

We at the Review mourn the loss of Alice Munro (1931–2024). In memory of her life and work, we’ve unlocked her Art of Fiction interview from our archive. theparisreview.org/interviews/179…

I haven't read much Alice Munro, but what I have read is exquisite and I'll never forget how a male editor of the NYTBR once described her work as "women's fiction" in an episode of their podcast.

NOLA roll call! Come through, if you’re around.

if you're in New Orleans this weekend, I'll be a part of a panel/workshop that should especially be of interest to those writers who are writing something that lives in between fiction/CNF and poetry. with me will be Rone Shavers & @_robarnold to discuss some different approaches

An essay five years and a lifetime in the making—an ode to journeys physical, celestial, and emotional—published online in @solsticelitmag just in time for tomorrow’s #EclipseSolar2024. I hope you enjoy it!
