Today is the official pub date for my book WHO'S AFRAID OF THE STILL SMALL VOICE?. A collection of essays on teaching, learning, and faith; an argument that much of what ails education today boils down to an assault on conscience; a word (I hope and pray) for the weary. Out now!

For @the_point_mag I wrote one if the most personally important essays I’ve ever written. My experience teaching great books has been utterly transformative, and I think that if you’re on the left you should be all in on it. https://t.co/3ZAXbrA86u
A grotesque thing to say, ignorant of the actual attitudes of troops and a display of the way Americans increasingly offload guilt for our collective political failures onto the class of people who have chosen to bear the most direct physical and mental costs of those failures.
Today marks three years since my conversion/reversion into the Catholic Church (praise God!), and a little under two months until the publication of WHO'S AFRAID OF THE STILL SMALL VOICE?
Conversation essay in progress; in the meantime, more on the book: https://t.co/lTERbAxSXv
Found out, by luck or Providence, that today is the feast day of (St.) Elijah. So it seems as good a day as any to share the cover of my new book WHO'S AFRAID OF THE STILL SMALL VOICE?, out this fall from One Subject Press: https://t.co/BBl1netYZG @CzaiaZach
I'm in a moment of career transition, so I thought I'd remind y’all I consult/coach/edit for private clients alongside my teaching. From sifting ideas to finalizing projects, I have decades of experience to share. You can reach me through my website, https://t.co/5honad5WsK.
The Big Five are not the only ones capable of publishing books. Small presses, with their miniscule budgets, have kept literary fiction on life support. They take the creative risks that the Big Five won’t, and they nurture and sustain writers’ careers in a way the Big Five no longer cares to. If you enjoyed James by Percival Everett (published to great fanfare this year by Big Five imprint Doubleday), thank the small press Graywolf who doggedly published Everett for decades before the Big Five finally decided to cash in on him.
I wanted to type of the list of poets/books I named for the #SealeyChallenge so I could see them in one place. In doing so I made a horrible discovery. I need help. Suggestions of poets/books are welcome.

US Bishops on passing of Bill: “The final version of the bill includes unconscionable cuts to healthcare and food assistance, tax cuts that increase inequality, immigration provisions that harm families and children, and cuts to programs that protect God’s creation. The bill, as passed, will cause the greatest harm to those who are especially vulnerable in our society. As its provisions go into effect, people will lose access to healthcare and struggle to buy groceries, family members will be separated, and vulnerable communities will be less prepared to cope with environmental impacts of pollution and extreme weather. More must be done to prevent these devastating effects.”
