A much smaller stack of books on the right has text that reads, "In Nov 2023, PAU proposed a $60k salary floor. Mgmt's proposed minimum is $48.5k. That's LESS than the Living wage in all four PEN America office locations!"

Posting belatedly, but students from my seminar on Women Poets & the Cosmos & an introductory literature course were enamored w/ @RosebudBenOni! These students now make up our new student government, volunteer for the Womyn's Resource Center, etc., and are doing the good work!
