The wonderful Kalamazoo Book Arts Center has created a stunning limited edition broadside of one of my new poems "October," featuring woodblock art by Martin Hubbard. They're signed (by me) and numbered by the artist. You can preorder it here: kalbookarts.org/shop/broadsi…

Oof #LibraryTwitter . I’m seeing white librarians here and on other platforms sharing that their workplaces are safe and welcoming for minority groups and while *you* may think that, it’s not your declaration to make.

We need to have a serious conversation about slavery--its ahistoricism--and how blackness exists outside of time. Slavery was never simply or completely configured as a material circumstance--but as a state of mind and of being.

Seeing Zionists react to the NYT story about Palestinian children being shot in the head by Israeli forces has been both fascinating & maddening.
