4 years 💔 There are no words adequate to describe how much I miss you. What a long, relentless journey grief is. And yet I feel your love and encouragement every day guiding me. Sharing your beautiful poem Amber which resonates so much today.

I am stunned beyond words to finally share that I got admitted into the University of Virginia(UVA), UNLV & Chapman University to pursue an MFA in Creative Writing. So grateful to thee black sylvia plath who agreed to run a GoFundMe campaign for this cause.

Wow.

MASSIVE waves of support for Palestine flood Reykjavik today.

Thank you Iceland 🇮🇸🇵🇸

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

Thinking about this poem today.

Israel literally blew up every single university in Gaza.

But we’re being asked to condemn the American students peacefully protesting this genocide on US campuses?

There is something very wrong with the world today.

Gosh y'all I do try to write poems, and I'm so stoked when folks seem interested in them, and I'm SO SO stoked and grateful that Poetry Daily posted this one from 'The Many Hundreds of the Scent.' I hope you like it. poems.com/poem/race-in-l…

i was one of the 49 yale students arrested this morning.
ypd mobilized at 6:30 as we slept peacefully in our tents.
we stood together and joined our voices in song as they handcuffed us one by one.
many of us have now rejoined the protests.
we refuse to be silenced.

If you love me as much as you say you
love me, stay. Let us make a place
of that ripeness the soul speaks about.

Leaving SF after the honor-joy of reading the other night with Airea D. Matthews at MFA @ U of San Francisco (thanks for the invite D. A. Powell!) and remembering how much I loved it here and how this Bronx boy might actually be a CA kid at heart 🤔

Say here is my face emerging into clear light
that misses the sea we departed from to join you.

One month left to pre-order MAGICAL / REALISM! I'm really not great at self-promo, but pre-orders really make a huge impact.
So, Barnes & Noble is running another 25% off all pre-orders sale from April 17-19, and Premium Members get an additional 10% off: barnesandnoble.com/w/magical-real…

I cannot highlight enough the violence in and of the suggestion that an anti-war protest by writers is a silencing of other writers. The sentiment by itself is damning. lithub.com/pen-president-…
