Happy pub day ❤️🔥to my 4th poetry book w @Tin_House THE NEAR AND DISTANT WORLD in front of many of the books that helped bring me along to this moment--+ this ambivalent platform played a 👁️ role in starting dialogues & wondrous discoveries: grateful for the friends I've made here
I sold my book to Simon & Schuster’s Avid Reader Press!! So lucky to have their incredible team behind me, and to call agent extraordinaire @sarahburnes mine. 💜
Thrilled to be named a 2025 Elizabeth George Foundation Grant recipient. Writing a book requires years of unpaid and unnoticed labor, done in pockets of barely-existing time. It’s bittersweet to be among the last circle of writers receiving EGF support, but wow am I grateful.
@darcyjamesargue@nytimes Thank you, is all, for these now 2 lists and the amazing commentary. And for your own contributions to the genre! So many hard choices, but I’ll just say Bob Florence’s Westlake is one that always stays with me.
@Jayson_Greene Surprisingly shocking news. Alas. Also, your pieces there were always so amazing to read there. Looking forward to finding you in new places.
Looking forward to giving a talk on writing the personal essay at Boston University’s Power of Narrative Conference! Honored to be in this line-up. https://t.co/HJweHspZnV
