"two months slide by like thin paint./ I strain from bed to desk, climb/ hour by hour out of dread. what/ came first, the hope or the pain? mime/ of thirst or mime of rain?" - from "lushi for Wuhan" by Jody Chan, winner of the NightBlock Poetry Contest. https://t.co/Gr8n6DP36a

@csferreira08 @tweetsbykelsi i promise we’re only here to defend the defensible. a white poet bickering with POC poets about virtue signaling is indefensible.
A reminder from @GrantaMag that one-third of American homicide victims who are killed by strangers are killed by cops. #DefundThePolice https://t.co/aHdLnpWDJb
