The poems just shatter the heart. Yesterday, I met with 550 high school students and we grieved and manifested together. Everything feels crucial. Even poems.

One wonderful thing I learned about was from Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s poem, “Heliophilia”: Rhubarb makes a wild popping or crackling noise when it grows in the dark. Now I’ve seen videos of this occurrence and I love it. We have yet to truly understand the language of plants.

...a cookbook and a memoir combined that celebrates generations of Black women in Appalachia. Wilkinson always has a way of saying it true and making me weep.

I remember sitting on a plane and reading... and having to hide my laughter for fear folks around me would think I’d gone bonkers in the bulkhead row... [this] book made me laugh out loud and it gave me something else, the idea of watching the world with amusement.

a very intense memoir about her experience of finding out about her grandfather’s powers to heal people. It’s all mixed in with the real and violent history of Colombia.

Okay, I’ve just finished Sigrid Nunez’s The Friend and wow. I’m so moved and I want to read it again. Mainly, a beautiful written novel about grief, writing, and a dog. Apparently it’s my life.
