@joan_of_snark2 @KirstenUsman I was there to take her to lunch. At lunch she wanted to go halves in a cream-filled bun…and she talked me into eating the other half.

Grateful for this chance to go deep - thinking about what it meant to be seen into by the iconic Fanny Howe, what we writers can mean to each other, and how doing right isn’t the same as being good.

@CynthiaMHoffman @ChicagoRevBooks I love this, Cynthia

I wrote you a letter. If you have anxiety, depression, OCD, or if you're a poet, if you've ever written in the second person. Today in the @ChicagoRevBooks . chireviewofbooks.com/2024/02/06/i-b… person-pov/ With ❤️, from EXPLODING HEAD.

@stewartdantec @washingtonpost “What was I here to do? Oh, yes, I’m here to write. To build a house sentence by sentence, in such a way that people can enter and dwell in it.” Love this and the whole essay 🌟

I’ve been thinking so much about the world since the lockdown, what happened to us, and what it felt like. Here’s my latest with the ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ on loneliness, the pandemic, and the places we go when things are hard and hurt. I hope you enjoy. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
