Sonnets: Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition
Bernadette MayerWhen 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

The Hour of the Star: 100th Anniversary Edition
Clarice Lispectorugh SO relatable: “I write because I’m desperate and I’m tired, I can no longer bear the routine of being me and if not for the always novelty that is writing, I would die symbolically every day.” - Clarice Lispector, The Hour of the Star, trans.

Crossing Waters: Undocumented Migration in Hispanophone Caribbean and Latinx Literature & Art
Marisel C. MorenoLast 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
