I'm so honored to have my Katrina poem published in full in Literary Cherry. 20 yrs on it feels as if nothing in America has really changed... Thank you, Adrian de la Peña and Maw Shein Win for publishing it! literarycherry.com/two-cherries

@CarolynHembree @lsupress LOVE his work!

My @lsupress pressmate Dan Beachy-Quick. Wow.

@GavinNewsom Not to mention the impeachment of the most despicable president and disgusting person, Donald Trump!

No new funding. Kristi Noem must RESIGN. Greg Bovino must be FIRED. Suspend the LAWLESS mass deportation raids nationwide NOW — ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous criminals. Send the border patrol back to the border. End the militarization of ICE + the sick racial profiling. End the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel agenda. Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of training before even setting foot in the field. INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every single federal agent who is breaking the law.

Just arrived! The latest book by poet Andrew Zawacki, as sensuously intelligent and gorgeously éngagé as ever, "These Late Eclipses," from @VergeBooksChi, which you, too, can enjoy after purchasing here: asterismbooks.com/product/these-….

If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive? Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy? Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet? We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

Or, more precisely, fuck Trump's SS force (which in German means "Protective Force" and started out as *just* Hitler's bodyguards). We don't need you terrorizing our cities, assaulting our peaceful protestors, and disappearing our law-abiding residents! #NoKingsOct18

@VChangPoet Love that Dickinson and Whitman get their own categories along with ambiguity, metaphor, etc
