Maternal mortality remains high in Missouri — but even more mothers, especially Black women, nearly die, suffering severe complications from pregnancy and long-term health problems.

Solutions are clear, experts say. But they haven’t been implemented. 🧵

Months of drought are making the Mississippi River nearly unnavigable for barges, and that’s creating problems for farmers looking to ship their harvest.

A summer of prolonged drought across the Midwest has led to the low levels.

@MCPLMO @KCLibrary @jocolibrary,
With summer outdoor activities, we've not checked in w/ your programming so unsure what's already booked but wanted to make you aware of this potential speaker. Geoff found the tweet while walking & has since requested one of her previous titles.

Dear friends,

My book is out from @wwnorton on 11/8. It’s available for pre-order, & I’d love to talk to you, your students, & your pets about poetry any time this fall or spring.

There’s nothing I love more, as you may have gathered.

I hope you’ll be in touch.

Love,
MP
