2020 Academy of American Poets Prize On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs by Renée Nicole Macklin

Honor her by reading some of her work--and by voting out the hateful folks that are complicit in her murder.

My first book pubs today, and among other things it is a love letter to Chicago — the city and the communities that have been a tenth muse for me.

Margaret C. Anderson's story is also, I hope, a reminder that good art requires taking big risks.
