Louisville artist doing great things! SO excited for you @erinlmccoy.bsky.social ! Congratulations!!!

We can definitely relate to this answer from our August featured poet @erinlmccoy.bsky.social:

I am beyond thrilled to share the cover of my debut novel, UNDERLAKE, forthcoming from Doubleday in April 2026. UNDERLAKE is available for preorder now: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/804090... Thank you to @doubledaybooks.bsky.social and @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social for a gorgeous book 🙏

Read poems from my forthcoming book WRECKS ( @noemipress.bsky.social ) on A Dozen Nothing!

A man who helped save a 9-year-old during a shark attack in Florida last month is now facing deportation after being taken into custody for driving without a license.

The Trump regime definitely doesn’t want you to download this app that lets you report and track ICE sightings.

If someone said “Saeed, it’s important to be respectful” and I interpreted that message as an indictment… well, you’d be right to be concerned about me and for me.

Cover reveal! I'm beyond excited to share that CLOUDWATCHER, winner of the inaugrual Stern Prize from @ampoetryreview.bsky.social & forthcoming from Copper Canyon, has a cover and is now available to pre-order (link in the replies)! 🌩️ 🌩️ 🌩️

So many congratulations to @abipollokoff.bsky.social for this brilliant debut with @redhenpress.bsky.social. I had the honor of being in the same MFA cohort as Abi, and her work has always achieved an incredible musicality & subtlety of craft. open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com/products/pol...

This is what representation in government looks like. This should have been an entire codel. It's not about waiting until the midterms. It's about taking action NOW

I’d rather write the instruction manual for a washing machine.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Got a preliminary glimpse at cover ideas for my novel today ❤️‍🔥

All it wld take is 3 congresspeople & 4 senators to wake up & care more for something larger than their careers. Right now we are at the moment when the curtain is yanked & everyone sees the wizard is a just a crazy old man. Restoring the illusion is near impossible www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/b...

Lately I’ve been trying to pause the urge in myself or others I’m in conversation with to immediately look up a question we have, instead trying to ponder a bit on our own before turning to the internet. Every single time we’ve been able to figure out the right answer on our own, within minutes.

How AMAZING that I am a finalist for national awards in 2 different countries: my picture book DAS DORF DER STEIENE for the Schweizer Kinder- und Jugendbuchpreis in Switzerland & my translation of LETTERS IN CHARCOAL for the Carnegie Medal in Illustration in the UK. 😍😍 #kidlit #kidlituk #booksky

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

I completed my first home improvement project! Home improvement is not for me!

I found out this morning that the new issue of Kirkus Reviews celebrates “The Best Books of the Century (So Far)” and my memoir HOW WE FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES is one of them! If you see a black gay man running through the streets of Boston trying to find a magazine stand, now you know why.
