PEN America Reveals Literary Award Longlists https://www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-features/articles/pen-america-reveals-literary-award-longlists-1/
Wow, I completely blipped over this last monthβthanks again to @electricliterature.com for publishing this excerpt from UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE.
Itβs one of those stories you wish werenβt relevant to the time weβre living inβ¦
And maybe the student sat through a class where poetry was taught in a way that left too little room for students to find their own way in, to feel into words, rather than focus on terminology? (I canβt know if that was the case, but their resentment towards iambic pentameter made me wonderβ¦)
Oh, wow, thanks @literaryhub.bsky.social for giving space to my Oma Lotteβs big dream to become a writer and to the kindness of a young tailor who fed and held her dream.
Letβs all nourish and defend a world where girlsβ and womenβs voices can ring loud and clear and free.
Thank you, Stephanie!! πβ€οΈ
Tomorrow is Pub Day for UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE!
So happy to celebrate on my publisherβs home turf!
A lively conversation with students today and a reading snd discussion tomorrow βBig Thanks to Restless Books and the German Department at Amherst College for the invitation!
That entire puzzle reads like a found poem about a charmed life, from beginning in JESTand MOSS all the way to TheENDβ¦.
Did you know that if you buy my book on Amazon, Jeff Bezos makes 5 times as much as I do on each copy sold? Sharing some behind-the-scenes book math on why buying directly from presses is best for EVERYONE (except Bezos) in my newsletter today! aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/book-math
Yes! Very early stages! But super excited to get going on this once my book tour is over. β€οΈ

Cover Picture of the Movie Departures bei Yojiro Takita
βDeparturesβ by Yojiro Takita. I guess Iβm trying to figure out how to live with so much loss every day. So I needed to be reassured that there is beauty in a bleak time and that kindness is what matters and persists.

There are times when you have to read Pratchett to maintain your sanity in an insane world. Others I keep thinking of right now are βThe Truthβ and βNightwatchβ .
Yayyy! Congratulations!!
Your students and colleagues are so lucky!
Thereβs a whole novel hiding in that one sentenceβ¦ (And I want to read it!)
I am so sorry to hear this.
I am so sorry to hear this.
When Kirkus Review sounds like they might have asked your mom about your memoirβ¦.

Das erinnert mich an Ursula Le Guin. Sie hat einmal so etwas gesagt wie: wenn man in einer SciFi Geschichte nicht an den Aktionen der Protagonisten erkennen kann, wer gut und bΓΆse ist, sondern nur daran, wer gut und bΓΆse genannt wird, dann hat die ganze Geschichte keinen Sinn.
