It fosters creativity by enabling a reader to become completely immersed in other imaginary worlds and by giving them the ability to experience different perspectives outside of their own. It also acts as a universal space for all to see themselves reflected in characters that they identify with.

Grateful to @poetrichardblanco.bsky.social for “My Father in English.” As a Texas teacher in 2025, exposing students to stories of folks who made sacrifices that will impact generations of their family feels especially important. (Shared with permission from the student)

I feel like I’ve been drowning lately; there are fewer and fewer pockets of air. So when @msespo.bsky.social asked if she could send me this book, I was touched and grateful. Both Christine and Nikki Giovanni are pockets of air. 💛

The first times I read this poem, I paid little attention to the description of Ferguson. The last few years; I’ve been thinking about planting seeds and what grows when you do. Ferguson is a space that cultivates life & growth, & also death + violence. It’s the juxtaposition, man. #PoemADayJuly

When I teach this poem, it’s always really visceral, the juxtaposition between innocence, rural ease, and carefree life and death and destruction. My students talk about how they feel like they’re always once second away from the end of their childhood. #PoemADayJuly

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

So, there's something I'm getting ready to write on in regards to Sinners and the use of Black Southern Gothic in Fantasy being largely ignored or neglected. Thankfully, South of Midnight and Sinners are bringing it back. But D&D/ @nirele.bsky.social made a Southern Black setting called Godsbreath

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Matters of #blacklove are super important imho. These essays affirm many of my takes + caused pause a few times. Variety of perspectives, esp from/about some authors whose work I have tried/want to try. #2025books #blacknonfiction #blackbooks #Blackbooksky #blackskybooks #blacklovematters
