Well, here we are starting a new Twitter because some hacker promised me free Jordans... I went out sad.

Feb. 9th we'll be hosting our first reading of the semester! In cooperation with the @IASatUofM, @accommodatingly will visit for a lecture and reading.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, holds her smart phone with former US President Donald Trump on the line, as Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, waves it off during a meeting of the 118th Congress in the House Chamber on Friday. #SpeakerVote

I’m so thrilled to share the cover for HOW TO SAY BABYLON, a memoir that was a lifetime in the making. I gave this book all my tears, sweat, and good ocean salt. In bookstores August 29, 2023. Preorder here: simonandschuster.com/books/How-to-S…

We are excited to announce the return of our poetry retreat happening in Spring 2023. We invite Black poets to apply to this inspiring week-long virtual retreat focusing on writing excellence and community building. . More info: buff.ly/3VDu18w . #Poetlife @blackmetics

@rckylrnts Whaaaaa? I wanna read this!

This exists. 🤯😌 books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr…

It’s Palm Sunday and this popped up in my FB memories. 5 years ago I tried my hand at my first Tirza Rima even though I hate rhyming and was terrified of form. I was also nervous about saying Jesus’ name in poems. Whew, I’ve come a long way.

@AlisonCRollins @illuminatemics this was my fav!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you all remember the 1986 film Babes in Toyland? I had this on VHS as a child and loved it. Also, as I type this @illuminatemics is playing Smokey Robinson’s song “Gang Bangin’” as he sings along. 😭

@fscottnaruto1 Wait wait I wanna read it. What’s it called?

The hardest part of Rudolph Thee Red Nose is that it starts off with the names of a bunch of flops. I don’t know Dasher. Never heard of Dancer. Don’t know Blitzen’s story. What’s that? They bullied Rudolph and now they what? Follow her. Go up for her. As they should. A bad bitch.
