Last week, at Margaux Fragoso, NJCU. Writer, we remembered a beloved student, friend, fellow writer. Margaux only published one book, TIGER TIGER, though she wrote much mote. She had so many more books in her. She died at age 38 of ovarian cancer.

One of the first of many pearls I’m excited to share from my new book, out in May! As TVTropes would say, I had to give a #titledrop to for #TheAllureofElsewhere!

What I need to remember today in my writing: "For the drama to deepen, we must see the loneliness of the monster and the cunning of the innocent. Above all, it is the narrator who must complicate in order that the subject be given life." Vivian Gornick, The Situation and the Story

Today I was planning to talk to my students about surrendering to the story. This is the perfect quote! Will use it. Thank you!
"When you start working, everybody is in your studio——the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas——are all there. But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you're lucky, even you leave." —John Cage

Emily Usher on the unrealistic idealism first-love stories and why more literature should depict crushes in their messy, authentic glory.
On Our Problematic Obsession with First-Love Stories
We first entered one another’s orbit when I was ten years old, at a sleepover organized by the local youth group. Over the next few years, I would see him sometimes, in amongst a pack of tracksuite…

This book is changing everything about how we understand what makes lyric essays tick and how we teach them. If you don’t have it yet, go now. You need this book.
Happy Birthday to this book! Hard to believe it's been a year. Huge thanks to @karenbabine.bsky.social for midwifing it, and to everyone who's read and/or taught it. I have absolutely zero concept of what, if any, impact it's had in the world, but I hope it's been useful.

Four months before the Triangle fire, on November 26, 1910, another fire, eerily similar, killed women factory workers in Newark. At this event we remember Newark & Triangle together.

"No story is a straight line. The geometry of a human life is too imperfect and complex, too distorted by the laughter of time and the bewildering intricacies of fate to admit the straight line into its system of laws.” ~ Pat Conroy
