Now seems like a good time to raise up @Gardiner_Beth's excellent book: "Choked: Life and Breath in the Age of Air Pollution." Well written and deeply reported. https://t.co/QJcEnxhy1q

Like many of Kevin "Mc" McIlvoy's students, I've been looking back on the gifts of his letters, lectures, conversation, company, and, of course, the joy of the dance floor. He was my 2nd semester mentor at @WWCasheville's MFA program. I was 24, writing decidedly ho-hum stories.

It greens the land; it spoils the water. It also weirdly catches on fire. I spoke with Dan Egan, one of my all-time favorite writers of the waters, about "The Devil's Element." https://t.co/uOAv9dKtME

Related: Shout out to DEEP DELTA JUSTICE by Matthew Van Meter: the story of the 1966 Louisiana case that established a right to jury trial in most criminal cases -- "one of the civil rights movement's most unheralded victories," as @PublishersWkly put it. https://t.co/syyQSDHbl3

Living simply "invites us to embrace an ethics of compassion and sharing that will renew a spirit of loving kindness and communion that can sustain and enable us to live in harmony with the whole world." -- bell hooks, "Where We Stand: Class Matters"

🌟 DETROIT: Come out Friday 7pm to the gorgeous 27th Letter Books for featured author Kelsey Ronan and her new novel, "Chevy in the Hole." I'll be Kelsey's conversation partner at the event, and I'm full of questions + curiosities. This will be fun. https://t.co/EzC4tUs36P

@ninaignaczak @MGuzman_Detroit @Ash_Detroit @sarahalvarezMI @AaronMondry @AllnuttBrian @HerbergRadio @ASysling Good suggestions already. I'd add Dominique Morisseau's 'Detroit' cycle of plays. Of course there's 'Origins of the Urban Crisis.' And Herb Boyd's 'Black Detroit' + Aaron Foley's guidebooks. Grace Lee Boggs. I also humbly suggest the 'Detroit Anthology' for wide-ranging voices.

“We are allowing recruiters into schools where kids can sign on the dotted line, but they can’t read about actual service members’ and soldiers’ experiences?" West Michigan school board removes Anthony Swofford's "Jarhead" from high school library. https://t.co/h58sz5dHb4
