Fish House
Stephen Dougherty
happy birthday, Elizabeth Bishop. I read "At the Fishhouses" to my class of 11th graders. As I hit that inimitable ending ("... our knowledge is historical, flowing, and flown"), the teens fell into a legit reverential silence. That's greatness. https://poets.org/poem/fishhouses

Small Things Like These (Oprah's Book Club)
Claire Keegan
Before the sky burial of Twitter concludes, I would like to say that this is the most humane & emotionally rending novel I have read in years. Few books have made me cry. SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE did. @groveatlantic #BookTwitter #books https://t.co/0dNAcek6vT

Tomato Red
Daniel Woodrell
After waiting for a moment where I could disappear into a book, I read @elicranor ‘s super debut DON’T KNOW TOUGH from @soho_press in three big gulps . Creating a memorable 1st person narrator is so hard & he absolutely nails it . It reminded me of Woodrell’s TOMATO RED https://t.co/XLX1eN3Nrd
