So sad to hear about the death of Nikki Giovanni, but so grateful for the rocking interview we had in 2016. She was a wonder. https://t.co/f58pNvizYQ

One year ago right now I was in the home of the great writer N. Scott Momaday to interview him about writing. Momaday's recent death was reported today. It is with grief, reverence and gratitude that I re-post the interview with this beautiful man. https://t.co/4azNfDUktD

Bittersweet day today. The 27th annual Writer's Symposium by the sea begins, and we mourn the loss of 2014 Symposium guest Paul Farmer. May we repair the world in his absence. Here's my interview with him https://t.co/LRaE2vfgmv

One of the pleasures of teaching at PLNU is that I get to meet great students who become famous Hollywood directors! Here's my story about Destin Daniel Cretton, director of the new Marvel movie that just posted in the San Diego Union-Tribune.https://t.co/dqZOG72kY7
