NYC born & raised in a library of sorts is where I spend most of my days…

Here’s the thing about a week long generative workshop like @kenyonreview -as a community we create more than just writing-we produce empowered selves-every moment written into our memories, onto our spirits, into the cadence of our hearts. #BoomBoomPap

Here's an excerpt from LESSONS FOR SURVIVAL about my home place in @TheAtlantic thanks to editor @JenishaWatts. I gave this my all. Mosholu, I see you. You have washed clean my eyes. https://t.co/NeKeTd1fhV

Here's a braided essay I wrote for @Orion_Magazine about grief on both personal and planetary levels. Special thanks to @CityCollegeNY climate scientist colleague, @mtzortziou with whom I traveled to the Arctic in collaborative spirit.

Eleven months ago today, Flaco escaped the Central Park Zoo where he had lived in a small enclosure for most of his 13 years. Since then, he has enthralled New Yorkers with his ingenuity, resilience and love of freedom. Here's to you in 2024, Flaco! 🧵❤️🎉❤️ #Flaco #CentralPark

So very proud of my dear John Murillo for conceiving of The Cardinal Poetry Prize for poets aged 40 and older, “who have taken their time and decided not to rush publication.” 🎉🎊💐

Seeing eye-to-eye with Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl as he enjoys a quiet afternoon on an Upper West Side fire escape in late November. 🦉 ❤️ 👀

Today we remember the Mirabal sisters who gave their lives to free the Dominican people. In 1999 the UN declared Nov. 25, Intl Day for the Elimination of Violence against women, in their honor. We need their inspiration more than ever now ! It's still the time for Butterflies

[Tabitha Brown @IamTabithaBrown]

Don’t confuse ignoring a situation with healing, and don’t confuse holding a grudge with setting boundaries. They are not the same…with love❤️

[Manhattan Bird Alert @BirdCentralPark]

Flaco had a relaxing Saturday afternoon in a spot he has visited often before (as early as March), the Central Park Loch, where he slept peacefully and then woke up to do his stretches and fly off after sunset for a night of hunting. 🦉 ♥️

My favorite thing about tonight’s National Book Award Ceremony apart from that powerful joint statement for ceasefire was that all the winners thanked their mothers for bringing them to the library when they were kids.
