"This is one of the more interesting energy coalitions we’ve seen launch in a while, and the reason is simple: it aligns the economic interests of very different companies around a problem that’s genuinely fixable."

Many thanks to @MuthaMagazine for publishing this essay on pregnancy, one that felt risky. I wrote it when was seven months pregnant, deep in what I began to secretly call my “prepartum depression.” https://t.co/sMvkyDn9Vo

“I tried my best to write in a way that the humanity in the book is there regardless of your interest in Venezuelan politics or Venezuela as a nation....But for Venezuelans reading this, they know everything that happened....” —@Puyana, @AustinChronicle

When I first read A Brief History of Seven Killings by @MarlonJames5 I had never seen anyone marry history, politics and character like he had. In my own writing I wanted to capture the essence of Venezuela, like he had done with Jamaica. To have this on my book now means so much

Planning to attend AWP LA... if anyone is looking for additional panelists. My subjects, I think: non-academic teaching and working w/ writers of all walks within the community, historical fiction (read: research), book reviewing, and literary citizenship. Thanks for considering.

BOARDWALK EMPIRE x THE PARIS WIFE x THE LUMINARIES

FLORENCE, based on the dramatic life of First Lady Florence K. Harding, is an account of love, the hauntings of selves, political kingmaking, and one woman's faith in her destiny to do the stuff of men.

"We've gotta double or triple the grid to decarbonize. That's the technical challenge of the Space Race & the scale of the Interstate highway program. That's some real, societal shit. That creates a real opportunity for distributed energy resources." -@plafarge is 🌶️ at #DERVOS

@ColeSouth Wow! What an accomplishment. Congratulations!

[S. Kirk Walsh @skirkwalsh]

It was an honor and a pleasure to interview George Saunders about his early years in the Texas Panhandle—and how it shaped and influenced his fiction for @TexasHighways.

One of his favorite Texas authors! One guess? (@elizmccracken, among others!) 🙃
