I'm super excited to announce that the MFA program at the University of Tennessee is now offering a FREE FIRST ROUND APPLICATION.

We also do not require GREs.

The MFA program is also FULLY FUNDED.

It is also AWESOME.

Please help spread the word...

"So much hate and fear towards each other and towards other cultures has been from a lack of wonder and imagination," says poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil in an interview about her new book, "World of Wonders." https://t.co/uLKlHhCgmM

Y’all can understand a white kid shooting up a school cuz he was bullied after 4 months of school but don’t understand why an oppressed group is compelled to burn shit down after 400yrs

This is why I created #WOVEN @EntropyMag. To say no to writing of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, & #MeToo isn't sympathy, compassion, or human kindness--it's a refusal to acknowledge what's wrong with our world. I publish one every Wed; will continue as long as we need.

The latest from @SamRafBarber arrived in the mail today. The title is already making me nostalgic for reading his stories in workshop @ArizonaMFA

I’m glad October is over—perhaps in November I won’t sleep in chairs next to hospital beds and the only thing I’ll have to worry about is the onslaught against human rights and the Earth

I needed to hear this today

[💐 Maurice 💐 @MauriceRuffin]

The worst thing a writer can do is let life paralyze you into inaction.

Yes, people are being locked up for fun and you are short on funds and anxiety is tearing you apart.

But your words mean something and only you can write them.

Maybe there's another apartment there

I just saw the tail of a creature disappear into the gap beneath the threshold of my apartment
