@JoniAdamson Thanks! I’ll have to read this asap. Love Max Liboiron’s work; teaching Pollution is Colonialism in a few weeks. Also, this is a good reminder I owe an email to @KalaniCarlson…

Today I reached into my mailbox and found a cluster of earwigs and I’m convinced I’d be less grossed out if Ross Gay would just write a poem about them.

@jenn_bernstein I'm writing something now on King Charles being dubbed the "Climate King" despite a history of making claims about "overpopulation" in the Global South. Classic king move.

Andrew Ross, in Bird on Fire (2011), calls Phoenix the world’s least sustainable city. He also notes that if it can make meaningful progress to ensure a livable future, then there’s hope for replicability elsewhere. Well, here’s an update on that. https://t.co/G1oqIdZm1V

Day 2/ We also discussed the importance of language and narratives in framing the climate crisis, and how considering keywords - in the Raymond Williams sense - can help us understand evolving and divergent understandings of the climate crisis, thus shaping reactions.

Will be teaching Jung Yun’s O Beautiful for the first time this spring. Excited for it. Also returning to an old favorite, Through the Arc of the Rain Forest. It is finals week and I’m getting stoked for spring, what is this

A book of selected poems by Gwendolyn Brooks randomly showed up in an Amazon package at my doorstep and I spent more time I’d like to admit trying to figure out who sent it before I looked at the address on the package. It was meant for my neighbor. Now I need to meet them.

If you’re planning a postcolonial lit class, a good choice against the backdrop of the flood crisis in Pakistan is Uzma Aslam Khan’s Trespassing.
