Sonnets: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition
Bernadette Mayer
When teaching Bernadette Mayer, do you tend to use A Bernadette Mayer Reader, turn to an individual collection, or make your own selections from across her oeuvre? My plan was to assign Sonnets. However, I'm interested to hear alternative approaches. https://t.co/Qt4ZNvCbpy

Crossing Waters: Undocumented Migration in Hispanophone Caribbean and Latinx Literature & Art
Marisel C. Moreno
Last night, I learned so much from tuning in to the book launch for @marisel_moreno's Crossing Waters, which brilliantly shifts the paradigms of border theory, as typically conceived. I was also very proud of @franciscondine for his stimulating questions. Fantastic conversation! https://t.co/vilMv4Jod0
