I suspect some of you view voting as a statement of your personal values, instead of a way to marginally improve the conditions for your everyday organizing work that could actually change the world

"How appropriate her tomb
was made of her own body. How typical
of a mother."

"and you're the kid in chemistry
staring out the window, dreaming
of a queen. Writing her a letter

in your blue jay mind"

"Sunday erasure of a quarter-fold baptism anniversary card"

For ourselves
passing
one another
through the
water
poured out
justified
become
life

Such a joy to hear @SafiyaSinclair talk about her memoir at @ElliottBayBooks tonight! 😍 (And anyone who hasn't already should go read her poetry collection, Cannibal)

[Safiya Sinclair @SafiyaSinclair]

My memoir HOW TO SAY BABYLON is officially out in the world! This book is a love song to my family, to Jamaica and the seaside that I was nursed on, and to all the unseen and unsung women whose words and work made me.

[Salt Hill Journal @salthilljournal]

We at Salt Hill unequivocally support our friends at @GburgReview. It's appalling that the magazine and its editorial team are being treated like this. Join us in writing Provost Bookwala and President Iuliano at @gettysburg to protest this ridiculous decision.

between some far-flung high school and our own,
pressed together under a single parka, tethered
each by one earbud to your Walkman"
