@jv_genova @ShortReadsOrg @BrittanyHailer I love the whole piece and especially this line: "You counted the rain beads on the windowpane and felt utterly content in the dreary light." This feels so right on, especially on this rare and beautiful dreary day in Denver. Thanks for this, @BrittanyHailer.

"Pathology Report," an essay by JV Genova, connects a young, nursing mother's breast cancer diagnosis with the body politic in a beautifully fraught, Didion-like fashion. @jv_genova @TheLindenReview https://t.co/bfSBNs8BOn

@tqtyson Agree. It was exceptionally beautiful tonight.

"The process of making art is the process of becoming a person with agency, with independent thought, a producer of meaning rather than a consumer of meanings that may be at odds with your soul, your destiny, your humanity." ~ Rebecca Solnit

the thing about academia is that no matter how “successful” you become you will always be an adult wearing a backpack

@DinaLRelles Like @magzlogic said, I too felt this deeply.

@VonettaWrites Just imagining this idea in the context of my life made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

@SemiEmily Oh HELL yes.

I interviewed essayist Molly Rogers to talk about "House of Secrets," which was published in the spring '21 issue of Colorado Review. I had such a wonderful time chatting with her and learned a lot too. https://t.co/nrk12eubVu.

@megangalbraith Ha! I had to meet with someone in person on Tuesday for work. I changed my clothes three times and then remembered how that used to be a daily thing. How much time do we waste getting showered and dressed?!?!
