Never Again Trump
A few years ago, I was brought on board by a New York-based publishing house to be a fiction editor. My first assignment was, instead, a book about Trump’s relationship to Russia.
If You’re Lucky, This Could Be You
“Her life is not a goddamn movie. How’s this for plot? Fires erupt when people aren’t paying attention.”
Nothing Without Intention: on Writing with Solange’s “When I Get Home”
“Refrains like ‘we were down with you, down with you, down with you’ extend beyond the bounds of normal chorus and invite a particular mode of listening that engages the logic of mantras—sound as vibrational soothing.”
What We’re Reading Now: Embracing Jenny Odell’s “How to Do Nothing” During Shelter-in-Place
“By preventing myself from thinking about how to do more with my day or why I hadn’t accomplished as much as so-and-so—by ‘doing nothing’—I constructed a new framework of what mattered to me.”
Summoning Roethke
I want to convey to my students that what poetry does above all, and Roethke above others, is help us see the world, not outside of ourselves as much as in our hearts, and in our own thoughts and words and expressions.
