Over the last few days, I'm reading everything by poet @janbeatty27. Started with Mad River, loved Boneshaker and Red Sugar, and now am immersed in The Switching Yard. Gotta get the rest.
Such raw, brutally honest, painfully liberating poems in language that is just beautiful.
I’ve got news! I’m headed to Harvard and the Radcliffe Institute next year with a host of incredible fellows. I’m really excited to take this time, finish book 3, and work on some new-new things too! So grateful🙏🏾✨
