Happy birthday! 🥳 🎂

It’s been a kick to work on media for this album with Andrew Whiteman and Anne Waldman. Check it out! 🖤

Reading Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country was like going on a road trip with Louise Erdrich and her toddler, visiting lakes and discussing books. Our, I mean her travels eventually lead to an island whose cabins are filled with 1000s of rare books. It was quite a road trip.

I really enjoyed it. Hope you do too 😊

The ingredients for my perfect comfort read can all be found in Joanne Jackson’s Sunset Lake Resort:
•Well written
•A middle aged woman who sets out on a journey of discovery
•A generational mystery
•A supernatural element that is more soul-searching than it is creepy.

Choosing “small box” makes a BIG difference—prioritizing the people on the bottom over the bottom line. 🩷 No, you can’t buy this at Walmart.

Who’s joining me?

As part of my poet laureateship—and as a personal challenge to myself—I’ve written a blog on how to write a love poem, just in time for a little Valentine’s Day wooing:

I’ve fallen in love with the short story. This collection of interconnected short stories from Sidik Fofana is full of heartbreak and injustice and also joy and endurance.

My goal of reading Helen Humphreys backlist continues in 2025. Each book continues to be a winner.

It’s fantastic. Difficult to read because it makes me want to punch someone 😉 but so good.

Time to crack open a new library book.

Read “Mickey’s Bar” this morning from Francine Cunningham’s collection God Isn’t Here Today. Flipping amazing story that will never leave me. Normally I would then pick up my current NF but I can’t. That story needs time in my brain by itself for a while.
