Readers, lovers of books-as-objects, those unafraid or at least curious to uproot whiteness and familial ties to land: trust me. Follow this link and contribute to receive a reprint of JD Pluecker's The Unsettlements: Dad. 👀👀 next iteration @artpace opening in November ❤

[Jadine (JD) Pluecker @JDPluecker]

Hoping to be able to do this reprint of The Unsettlements: Dad. Almost halfway to the goal of $1800 to pay for printing 250 more copies. Making a space in the world for this little hand-drawn poetry history familial undisciplinary book is a wild ride. https://t.co/GKc6MWMPru

In 2023, my work email inbox will be the equivalent of a laundry basket, sitting unfolded in the corner. Clean, no shame. Leaving this "mess" will lend more time and attention for work that matters. #resolutions #accountability #worklife #aspirations #leavethatlaundrygirl

Would love to see counter-examples if anyone can share. I look forward to Steffani Jemison and Quincy Flowers's newsletter for this reason. Fully collaborative, facing outward, while also developing solo writing projects and sharing occasionally

[Amy L. Powell @amylu11]

I was talking with a friend and collaborator today about our creative work, the time we can allocate for it (despite/bc it's our day job!), and how socials and the web encourage individualized solo authored self-promotion. Will add a section to my website linking to co-thinkers

Very excited and nervous to announce that I have a new book under contract with Fordham University Press, due out sometime next year. It’s called “An Honest Living” and is built around an essay I wrote around four years ago with the same title.
