I had to check with my editor to make sure I was reading it right, but it seems Fatigue is indeed #1 nonfiction on Amazon (in the Kindle Singles). Apart from alphabetical order, I've never been in first place for writing, so gonna enjoy this while it lasts!

Excited to share our farmworker portfolio episode with Texas Public Radio, hosted by Yvette Benavides (@borderworldgirl)! Listen now for interviews with @jen_acker, co-editor @trustmiguel, Nora Rodriguez Camagna, and readings from the portfolio. tpr.org/podcast/book-p…

"Par excellence is THE LEGIBLE ELEMENT, Ralph Sneeden’s astonishing book of water-borne essays...Read just one page and beware of the undertow." —@jen_acker, author of THE LIMITS OF THE WORLD and editor at @commonmag. Learn more and order a copy today at bit.ly/44cqVx4!

@KenanOrhan93 Would you suggest wall mounting it? And how tall are the shelves (ie what size things fit inside)? And how wide/deep? Sorry so many questions, just interested! :)

This piece is a gift. Really conveys what fatigue/PEM is like and the challenge we face in improving people’s lives.

@KenanOrhan93 This is gorgeous! How on earth could it be shipped?

@augiewatts 👏

@nashwagowanlock @monakareem @SaraFarag Hugs to all of you!

I’m a non-academic working writer raising a family and the dream to be invited to a fellowship or residency has always been an unattainable dream. Until now. Blessed to be invited to the San Ysidro Ranch Writer’s Residency in 2024! 🥹

@guszeineddine Love it!! Can’t wait to own it.

Here’s the cover of my debut story collection, Dearborn. Big thanks to the amazing designer, Beth Steidle. My book will be out in the world on 9/5/2023. You can preorder a copy here: literatibookstore.com/book/978195903…
