For those wondering about/wandering in the thicket of gender, read GENDER(S) by Kathryn Bond Stockton. It's not going to clarify what gender "is" (nor should it), but it will clarify all the ways we've *always* been living with/within multiple genders. https://t.co/DZWtJdvfok

I remember laughing my way through The Information, crying my way through the end of Time’s Arrow, arguing my way through much of his criticism, and generally being dazzled by Amis’ prose style whenever and wherever I encountered it. RIP to Martin Amis—

As long as I've been writing, Charles Simic has been a guide. From my first workshop, to every class I now lead. From THE LUNATIC to DIME-STORE ALCHEMY to the massive NEW & SELECTED which I keep in my car to read whenever I have a break. Impossible to comprehend his loss.

M. NourbeSe Philip, LongSoldier, Robin Coste Lewis, and Anzeldua to see just how "little work" Eliot somehow left for us. Eliot wasn't the first to use collage (OVID, ANYONE? FRANKENSTEIN?) nor was he the last. (10/13)
