For this #LiteraryLandscapes essay, I appreciate how Monique focuses less on Morrison's fiction and thinks more about her as a public speaker and symbol.
Toni Morrison & Euclid Ave mural—on Black women lifting up each other, bc as Morrison said, “the function of freedom is to free someone else.” #LiteraryLandscapes by @MoniqueWingard. #ToniMorrison #Cleveland #Ohio #ClevelandIstheReason @TheCLE @GlenInfante newterritorymag.com/literary…
One of the super cool things about this essay was how Alice takes the experience of reading and thinking about Morrison and connects it to her own life, an ocean away.
Toni Morrison & Chesapeake Bay—driving along the Bay, trying to experience the place concretely, seeing the links between past and present, proximate and distant. #LiteraryLandscapes by Alice Sundman. #ToniMorrison #ChesapeakeBay #Maryland @thisisFINLAND newterritorymag.com/literary…
Trivius takes such a cool, personal angle on Morrison—it's a great example of an approach that not everyone has access to!
Toni Morrison & West Point—speaking to Plebes, Morrison makes “the auditorium, alive with the resonance of storytelling,” a space of racial belonging. #LiteraryLandscapes by @TriviusC. #ToniMorrison #Home #ThayerHall #WestPoint #NewYork newterritorymag.com/literary…
I've never had two essays in the same volume deal with locations in the same city, but I love how Ashley's essay about Lakeview Park plays off Tara's reflections on Morrison's childhood home.
Toni Morrison & Lakeview Park—exploring the traumas experienced by young Black girls in #TheBluestEye and reclaiming the park as a space for healing. #LiteraryLandscapes by Ashley Burge. #ToniMorrison #LakeviewPark #Lorain #Ohio @LCGov newterritorymag.com/literary…
Check out Tara Conley's essay on #Morrison. I feel like I've been sitting on this one so long, and I'm delighted to finally put it out in the world!
Toni Morrison’s childhood home—Black American resilience amidst the shared, cruel landscapes of white supremacy in Lorain, OH. #LiteraryLandscapes by @taralconley. #ToniMorrison #Lorain #Ohio newterritorymag.com/literary…
New #LiteraryLandscapes, all on Toni Morrison—enjoy!

Thanks for this write-up from @PeteDulin, whose #LiteraryLandscapes essay was one of our nominations for Best of the Net by @SundressPub! petedulin.com/best-of-the-ne…
Absolutely unsurprising—yet still damning—to read the stats about Florida university professors fleeing the state that Dew cites in this column. It doesn't have to be this way. tampabay.com/opinion/2024/09…

Congratulations to Pete Dulin and Rosemary Hope, whose #LiteraryLandscapes essays were our 2024 nominees for Best of the Net! Thanks to Humanities Kansas and High Plains Public Radio for helping bring "Literary Landscapes in Kansas" to life!
Thanks to Bitter Southerner for publicizing resistance to FL censorship efforts: “School board elections are winnable,” Moricz said. “The margins are winnable. We’re able to show students that if one marching band voted, they could flip a school board.” bittersoutherner.com/feature…

More and more people—in tech companies, consultancies, regulators, universities, among others—are saying this and proving it to be true: AI does very bad work and creates more labor for humans. crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-…

The 8 levels of Midwestern Anger
8. “Woah woah woah”
7. “Hold your horses”
6. “Jeez Louise”
5. “No sh*t Sherlock”
4. “For Pete’s sake”
3. “Well, now wait a minute”
2. “For crying out loud”
1. “Listen here pal”
With all the stories and commentary about Walz’s Midwestern masculinity, I’m feeling pretty good about the conclusion to Old-Fashioned Modernism
