Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.
Andrea Avery’s Visiting Composer is a fast, spooky, quietly devastating, paradoxically animating read. Her characters are reaching beyond a linear world of space and time, and the patriarchy that has determined its perimeters, for beauty, art, and connection stripped of their modern baggage. Whether they fully become or must abandon themselves in the process is the heart of the mystery of this elegant, haunting book. –Bonnie Nadzam, author of Lamb and Lions, co-author of Love in the Anthropocene

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

i love this one so much
My grandmother used to say it's so important to remember that the majority of people in this world are good. Might tweak that a little, but I do agree--and it's wonderful medicine to be deliberately in the company of such folk. Here's one such man--Seizan: all heart. Total privilege to know him.
What we see all around us isn't what is making us cower; it is turning away from the insanity and trying to escape into a separate peace.

how do you know a poem is done? first you write the poem. then put it into an egg without cracking its shell. then plant the egg. then, thirty years later, when the tree is full of singing birds, you'll have forgotten entirely about this question.

I turned away from drinking in the firehose of bad news last night to take my telescope out to a dark clearing in the forest. It was a bit cold, 4 degrees F, but stars shined bright overhead.🔭🧪
