Rereading my birth chart and I’m described as a “dilettante of love” — feel a poem coming on

Chuffed to join @BonkRacine Saturday -- join us at FB Live for some fun bonkseries.org

Am in my last week of the academic job—nearly 2 decades in #academia & only 2 months working at an arts non-profit & I still come home amazed by the non-toxic workplace. Will dearly miss my students tho.

Big thanks to @thefigureone who nominated my poem “Things I Would Tell a Daughter: A Poetics” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A grad student asked me this week, "How do you do the kind of work you want to do without reproducing the unjust power hierarchies of academia?" I can't, and none of us can, and we should stop pretending like we can be pure radicals inside the academy. 🧵

@MarianWI_Honors Ah, thanks!

Congratulations to past @MarianWI_Honors Co-Director, Prof. Kubasta!

I work mostly in poetry because it claims to be neither fiction nor non-fiction, because it acknowledges the gap between what really was or is, and what is said about it. —Sawako Nakayasu

So excited to join @ShakeRagAlleyMP as the new Director of Education—I’m moving to Mineral Point!
