Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

January 24, 2026 This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

David Baker reading from Transit tonight at Gramercy Books. Just wonderful.

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

"It’s say two weeks after the 1980s become the 1990s and holy shit. We don’t know it but we’ve already heard what will remain our favorite music forever."

Love this prose poem by @amorak.bsky.social in @westchesterreview.bsky.social

Interviewer and podcast host Sarah McConnell’s excited reactions to each poem are marvelous. She calls the work “hopeful,” and we can certainly all use more of that! 🐋💕

The Weight of a Whale - With Good Reason A new anthology of poems, including one that reflects on the weight of a whale, gathers voices from science, the arts, and Indigenous communities to create a portrait of nature in America.

Deeply moved listening to this podcast and hearing my poem "On the Weight of the Soul, the Weight of a Cloud, the Weight of a Whale" read by Luisa A. Igloria. She goes on to read several more poems from the Nature of Our Times, including her own fab work.
