“At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.” ― Lemony Snicket

@KazimAliPoet I loved this book and read it while I was rereading Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience and Aracelis Girmay’s The Black Maria and the texts started talking to each other! It was a beautiful conversation.

Why aren't we taught the interesting/troubling things about "greatness"? That Whitman's prose was racist. That Emily was thief! (Dickinson borrowed phrases, from other books and periodicals which she included ((without citation)) in her poems.) https://t.co/9beeX6FEGH

Did you know Bullfrogs were introduced to California as food in the early 20th Century?!? I did not… (From Jules Evans “The Natural History of the Point Reyes Peninsula”) #California #naturalist

I turn 50 in April. I’m going back to the cottage for my birthday. It’s in a CA native plant garden in Bolinas. I can spend a week alone reading & taking very long walks in Point Reyes. Walking & quiet—even though the unexplained swaying sensation is ever present—are saving me. https://t.co/L0aoj4GwAF

"Somewhere along those years, I went from thinking 'maybe they're right, this is a weird idea' to 'why aren't all contemporary literary works about trees'?" and chaparral and native grasslands and the ocean and and...me too, Richard Powers, me too. https://t.co/NP64IC1LC3
