So pleased to publish Jeffrey Side's review of Sheila Murphy's recent book of poetry, "Escritoire" (@lavender_ink_pr 2025), a "a tour de force in lyrical precision, linguistic play and emotional layering." Read it on Seneca Review's online reviews page: https://t.co/iT7nUALLjA

So happy to have my "process note" on the errant development of my manuscript, "Yet Sensate Light," up on Rob McLennan's Periodicity's site! Thanks, Rob, and THANK YOU, Maw Shein Win for asking me! https://t.co/MDOwNSmVFP

I'm so honored to have my Katrina poem published in full in Literary Cherry. 20 yrs on it feels as if nothing in America has really changed... Thank you, Adrian de la Peña and Maw Shein Win for publishing it! https://t.co/Cj5Ophi1Ca

@GavinNewsom Not to mention the impeachment of the most despicable president and disgusting person, Donald Trump!

Just arrived! The latest book by poet Andrew Zawacki, as sensuously intelligent and gorgeously éngagé as ever, "These Late Eclipses," from @VergeBooksChi, which you, too, can enjoy after purchasing here: https://t.co/cERWvJklNA.

If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive?

Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy?

Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet?

We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

Or, more precisely, fuck Trump's SS force (which in German means "Protective Force" and started out as *just* Hitler's bodyguards). We don't need you terrorizing our cities, assaulting our peaceful protestors, and disappearing our law-abiding residents! #NoKingsOct18
