I so enjoyed this interview. I got to talk about my journey from poet to fiction writer, translating Bengali poems as a new dad, and my experience at Brooklyn College MFA with @JoshuaHenkin. Also, please check out Martha's new novel "Three Muses" that comes out later this year! https://twitter.com/marthaannetoll/status/1491132360737181696

@Ursulaofthebook So many good ones in this thread! Surprised not to find a single Munro so I'll add: Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage (which I consider to be her finest).

A challenging week living through as an American. Thankful for books as refuge. I’ve been going through translations- steeping myself into the light and woes of other countries. And is there a more original and vital voice for waking us up than #olgatokarczuk?
