β€œAt that moment the (subversive) power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them.” #NCTE25 keynote with Percival Everett

Something I'm thinking about saying at my NCTE talk later this week: We should focus on teaching writing, not automation-assisted document production.

I'm thinking about how "possibility" is definitely a fairer place to dwell right now--as a healthy mindset and more. Replace "prose" with whatever words spring to mind at this moment. #poetry #ncte25 #ncte24

Feeling GRATEFUL for #NCTE24. As we look ahead to #NCTE25, I am thinking that "RADICAL OPTIMISM" might be an interesting mindset to adopt as a form of resistance, self-care, and more. Yes, let's DREAM and make those dreams come true. Already looking forward to your sessions!

This is about dreaming. . . perhaps you write a proposal for #ncte25 based on this inspo?

You are apparently working on this book and proposal I mention in the other reply!

This is perfect for the "Dreams" theme of #ncte25 and is perhaps the material of your next book?

At #NCTE24, some of us had the great pleasure to see & to hear both Tracy K. Smith & Ada Limon. Both poet laureates spoke about Emily Dickinson & her influence on them. As we move toward the next year also toward #NCTE25, let's remember Dickinson's words that we CAN "dwell in possibility."

Yes to all that. And tremendous thanks to NCTE!

I got there too late to have you sign my book, but I did get a copy, which I look forward to reading! I carried it around with me yesterday and today hoping I would run into you. . . alas.
