Oct. 19. 2019, Hartford Public Library: 12:30-4:30, I'm running a program on Witch history in CT, and how people deemed "other" are still being persecuted today--immigrants, LGBTQ+, women of color. The day ends with a reverent Samhain ritual. Come to Hartford & participate!

Great poem for the downtrodden from our new U.S. Poet Laureate! Scroll to find my poem "Bobo".

Hi Justice Ginsburg, a bunch of news outlets once declared me dead, too. But I’m still working to make the world a better place. Just like you. Here’s to many more years of fighting for justice. https://t.co/tCcceAs4Os

#MLKDay celebrates the life of an activist& American hero. King said life’s most urgent question is “what are you doing for others?”Today we should pause to reflect on how we account for the common good of people in our daily lives& how we can better our communities.#DayofService

@ShaquilleHeath loved yr NYT essay! Congrats. Wrote at length on FB how the photo illustration worked against your message. They should have done better. Interested in your thoughts.

#writetip #amwriting https://t.co/vbKhytA0c3 So I'm biased--I've been proudly teaching with the Institute since 1995. It's constantly adding new resources for all writers--not just students. If you need to learn from home on your own schedule, this is the right place.
