my book got a generous and thoughtful review from an outlet that publishes some hateful stuff. to be clear: i wrote corridor because i love trains. i wrote corridor for anyone who believes in building the broadest forms of togetherness we need to survive. (1/3)

love this deliberative, self-aware takedown of an unserious take. peter’s laconic hoagiemouth is icing on the tastycake. but do you all know @pjmaciak’s book, *screen time*? it’s got the same panic-defusing humanity i seek from your pod. nyupress.org/9781479820573/a…

a joy of buffalo life is being around brilliant people. my friend @lauramarris just wrote this stunning book about landscape, loss, remembrance--about being with & without. its full of beautiful prose and weird (good weird) critters. buy, read, & share! graywolfpress.org/books/age-…

Attention ASECS members! Please check your email for your ballot, and consider voting YES for the Bylaws revisions.
Many of these changes reflect improvements we’ve been asking for for years, but it means nothing if we don’t vote to approve them! Takes no time at all.
