What an enormous loss. RIP Louise Glück. And thank you. The Night Migrations poets.org/poem/night-mig…
“kristen why don’t you write a funny book” okay sure here you go CLOWN: A NOVEL @riverheadbooks COMING SOON 🤡🤡🤡
on several occasions, life has handed me a thin straw and asked me to take on a thick drink. At times, unfortunately, I have been the thick drink
walked by two people talking & heard a brief clip of a conversation, one of them saying "don't hand me a thin straw when you know it's a thick drink" & I thought yes, absolutely, and also what a saying. Can truly extend that metaphor into several life conflicts & complications
Everyone seems especially fragile right now. Please give someone the benefit of the doubt today and/or write them a note of appreciation. Everyone's just so wobbly...
Peter Taylor Fellow, @amymelissaestes, recommends "Old Enough" (@penguinrandom) by @HaleyJakobson. Citing the novel's humor, Amy praises the "accuracy and compassion with which [Jakobson] writes about coming out, the desire for queer friendship, and the chaos of it all."
If someone shares their teaching plans, syllabi, or worksheets with you, please make sure to thank them. That wasn’t a five-minute email but a semester’s-worth of work (or more!) you just got.
i do not have patience for the belief that art shouldn’t be political. are you not alive? are you not dying? is the planet not in crisis? do you think your enemies care how beautifully subtle you can be? or that your so-called allies care about the ‘longevity’ of your work?
Thrilled to be a @LambdaLiterary fellow this summer! Can't wait to meet all of you in Philadelphia so soon! #lambdafellows
Hi, if you have a BlueSky code you can spare, my body is ready. Thanks!
The Mark Twain House & Museum is excited to announce the Long List of titles for this year’s Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award!
tl is like "sorry but i cant sympathize with people who spend 250k just to suffer" and every grad student is silent
'Tomboyland: Essays' by @melissafaliveno is a fiercely personal and startlingly universal essay collection about the mysteries of gender and desire, of identity and class, of the stories we tell and the places we call home. #BookOfTheDay: on.nypl.org/3qU6zdP
