I'm so honored that Bloomland has won the 2020 VCU Cabell First Novelist Award! This book was my attempt to understand our country's obsession with using punishment and violence to access justice, and I'm so glad it resonated with the judges. news.vcu.edu/article/John_E…

🚨HAPPENING NOW: In the largest known boycott of "Israeli" cultural institutions, a coalition of writers, publishers, literary festival laborers, and book workers are refusing to work with Zionist literary institutions––and have invited the publishing world to join them.

Very happy to have contributed the introduction for this reissue of Andrew Holleran’s masterpiece, coming in December alongside Nights in Aruba & The Beauty of Men.

My op-ed for @truthout! "Every article about monkeypox should state that the U.S. government is a cause of this crisis, instead of shifting the blame onto individual acts and policing people’s sex lives while refusing to challenge the structural violence" truthout.org/articles/monke…

Excellent example of how historic firsts are almost always an indictment of the entire system.

Congrats to @RavenLeilani for winning the VCU first novelist award for LUSTER! This book is blazingly restless and contemporary and communicates meaning at the speed of light. It was an honor to serve as a judge on the panel.
