🔊 Sound on to hear me read an excerpt of the title poem:

[Steven Salaita @stevesalaita]

Do not become desensitized to the increasingly brutal images and stories emerging from this Zionist genocide. Let your anger and compassion always outpace the brutality.

[Isabel @sendtoisabel]

Always cheering for this poet and these poems.

Praise for Monica Rico:

“Leaning on prose’s visual density and its illusion of order, I have tried to consider how thought, grief, and desire might be ways of tending to the self—even when ragged, even when askew.”

my poem is today’s poem-a-day at @POETSorg! grateful to be in beautiful company, w/ these words from a dry season

[Academy of American Poets @POETSorg]

There to help, I once allowed the lettuce plants to fry to lace in minutes, like a joke. I cut my braids into the sink and thought about you on the bus. Tomatoes bubbled overnight, stovetop unattended.

Grad workers can't afford, on the current wage of $24k, to live in Ann Arbor. So I call upon President Ono and the administration to affirm their own words — to create a “new beginning” and “new energy on campus” by accepting @geo3550's latest proposal...

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Last night, the @UMich Regents called our demand for a modest living wage of $38k "unrealistic". The estimated combined fortunes of only two of them would be enough to fund a living wage for more than 278 years. They could fund it for 218 years and still be billionaires.

[olivia stowell @oliviastowell]

well. @UMich has officially docked all pay but $100 for april from its grad workers, putting many of us in a position of dangerous financial precarity. friends/allies, please consider donating to @geo3550 strike fund at https://t.co/NlE4QIQXh6. we need all the help we can get ✊

i made a giant seaweed cyanotype a few years back. its tendrils point, in their way, towards this poem: now an editor’s selection for @QuarterlyTupelo’s 29th issue! a generous intro & a compact folio: one wettish poem, one dryish. https://t.co/e0aUfqOp4m
