Today is going to be a raucous political sh**storm, I can feel it. But meanwhile, I'm preparing to teach the work of @MoBrowneSquared, @JasonReynolds83 and Elizabeth Acevedo, and can we all stop to give thanks that there is such brilliance among us?

Wallace Stevens, who availed himself of every derogatory name for Blacks that he could find, should be grateful to have his name associated with such a luminous talent. In my book, he would never qualify for a Nikky Finney Award. #BlackPoemsMatter

Please don't forget that LMPD and the National Guard came into the Black community in Louisville far away from the protests/demonstrations and shot a community pillar/restaurant owner in a food desert.
Friends and family paid their respects to David McAtee during his wake in Louisville. A Kentucky National Guard member shot and killed McAtee while working with LMPD to clear out a crowd after curfew. Photos by @PatMcdonogh #DavidMcAtee

In response to this thread I would like to see:
1. Public support from the literary community especially those in power who uphold its institutions
2. I would like to see real accountability asked of administration to reckon with their handlings of policing of fellows
For the past 9 months I've been a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center. I've had to stay past the original exit date of April 30 because of COVID. Details here: latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Hey @PoetryFound it’s a great day to wake up and fire your president. You know the one who was a CIA consultant and refused to start a Asian American Studies program at Northwestern until studunts went on hunger strike? That one.

Yes! I‘ve had friends & family get mad bc I don’t answer the phone while writing (or reading). The way people belittle both acts is upsetting. Writing is work. Reading is work. I don’t call you while you’re working expecting you to answer, so don’t call me expecting me to either.

Hey y'all, I know many queer writers of color have been impacted by COVID-19, having to cancel readings and book tours and more. It's devastating and it's nobody's fault. So I wanted to help any way I could with this Queer Writers of Color Relief Fund.
