Honored to take part in this virtual vigil alongside my brilliant @triohousepress.org pressmates. Don't miss over a dozen powerful readings by fierce & amazing poets!

Highlighting this one in particular because I know that many, many, many Minneapolis-area instructors are struggling with how to make classes that were going to be fully in person work in a hybrid format (to support students who aren’t safe coming to campus).

THREAD of offers of guest lectures (via Zoom) for Minneapolis-area classes so faculty can offer their students a top-quality education while dealing with other crises Seeing tons of extremely generous offers. I'll try to post 'em all here--please add your own w topics you can cover & how to contact

It was a pleasure to speak with Maiken Scott of @thepulse.whyy.org about Vietnamese refugees, trauma, parenting, & more to mark the upcoming 50th anniversary of war & diaspora. My interview is the last 12 minutes or so of this thoughtful episode.

More of this dude's nonsense, during #Autism Acceptance Month, no less. Thankfully, a poet responds. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... #poetry #neurodivergence

Such a gorgeous poem! Thank you Mai-Linh

I have a new poem out in the wild(ness). Times are so hard that this feels small. But poetry has reminded me daily we can still think and create freely. I love this journal's sense of beauty and wonder and am delighted that "Field Trip" found a home there: readwildness.com/37/

DHS said she was a terrorist sympathizer and “involved in activities supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization." Revoked visa, but offered no evidence. Social media was pro-Gaza, but she said she did not attend any protest. Offered no due process.

The sad irony of our unconstitutional moment is that the perspectives of foreign students can be particularly valuable when foreign affairs dominate American discourse. It’s a dreadful thing to declare to immigrants or foreign students, “Welcome to the land of the free: Now watch what you say.”

I'm ashamed and disgusted that University of Virginia's Board of Visitors voted to end DEI, just a few years after literal Nazis marched with torches on Grounds, and I said so via email. Addresses for you to speak up, too: [email protected], [email protected] wapo.st/4bvXN8M

I'm so grateful to have been part of this stunning cohort of Tin House Scholars. The last few years have been challenging, but poetry writing & orgs that support it make a world of difference. Thank you @tinhouse.bsky.social & your incredible staff! tinhouse.com/workshop/tin...

I'm not religious but I would visit this church 👀

"I became a writer as soon as I was in prison. I was sitting in a cell thinking, what am I going to do with these nine years?" In a conversation with PJP, Reginald Dwayne Betts shares how he became a prison poet.

Looks like a poem to me

My heart is full! What a wonderful workshop this has been. #THWW

Respect

Join our friends @workshops4gaza.bsky.social for their third online poetry reading featuring Sarah Ghazal Ali, George Abraham, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Cindy Juyoung Ok. The reading will be followed by a short moderated discussion and Q and A. Can't wait to see you there!

Day 1 of @tinhouse.bsky.social Winter Workshop has been lovely. Grateful for spaces of creativity and support during a time of so much senseless destruction. I appreciated the thoughtful statements re: Palestine & Native land that opened the program. #THWW
