#FromTheArchive "Defining a lyric essay is tricky. These essays often use image more than narration. They question more than answer." @RandonNoble on the art of the essay. pwne.ws/3MBSJVr

I drew a surprisingly good groundhog (a brown thing that brings me joy) at the @sarabandebooks ⚡️Zine Lunch⚡️"The Colors of Joy" led by @djvorreyer!

This groovy class needs a few more students. Who wants more inspiration from the everyday? hugohouse.org/product/field-…

@kath_richards_ Thanks for a great conversation! I love that you included not just the mind but also the heart in your last question. ❤️

I got to do an interview with @RandonNoble for SU4 which was a total delight Her essays linger for a long long time 🫶

@AnnieSandWriter I also second Essayism and Andre Aciman's work, particularly his collection False Papers.

I need a melancholic collection of lyric essays to read. Who wants to give me recs?

@AnnieSandWriter Bold to recommend my own Be with Me Always. It takes Heathcliff's plea to Cathy as its title and is loosely themed around hauntedness. bookshop.org/p/books/be-wit…
