This plátano poem! By Malcolm Friend! www.cincinnatireview.com/samples/plat...

“I loved my father. But behind the canopy of love is a trunk of hate, the bark and crack of pain, anger, and violence that love often conceals in its shadow. I begin with this as an attempt to bear witness to the shadows of our suffering, and, most importantly, the love that shaped my anger.”

I had the honor of working with The Blade to showcase the rich past and present of poetry in the northwest Ohio region. The final product is a page styled after the nineteenth-century press, which regularly featured poems.🗞️ 📰

Tenure looks good on you @ayendy.bsky.social! Celebrating you today and always 🥳🙏🏼❤️

I just want to post this here to recognize and celebrate my colleagues who received tenure and promotion this year along with me. Congratulations, friend! You did that!

Thank you all so much for the love and support! I’ve been trying to distance myself from all social media spaces. But it was lovely hearing from so many of you. Sending love and strength. 🙏🏽💜

I’m trying hard not to let the political climate in Ohio, and across the country, take this away from me. It wasn’t simply given. It was hard-earned. This is the wild dreams of ancestors—one generational push at a time. And I am grateful! Joyously relieved!

Thank you, @mercyhurst.bsky.social! 🙏🏽

Exciting!
