“Every month, money drips / into my retirement account. You think the world / will still be around when you’re sixty-five?” Read “Information Worker at the End of the World,” a poem by @niusteph from the collection I Would Define the Sun.https://t.co/oegCAhKWDc
It's pub day for I Would Define the Sun! Being an author has been a dream for as long as I can remember (and definitely since third grade, when I put my name on a book for the first time in Mrs. Follensbee’s class). I hope you enjoy. ☀️
Preorders signed & coming to a mailbox near you (& some extras are available at @yuandmebooks !). PUB DAY IS ONE WEEK AWAY AHHHH

BREAKING: Unionized @amazonlabor
workers at Staten Island’s JFK8 warehouse have walked out, joining thousands of @Teamsters in a national strike. Until Amazon comes to the table, workers will flex their collective power, bringing operations to a halt during peak season.
