Never more excited to get back to the drafting mines than I am when I get home after traveling. That heaven and nature still ringing in my ears.

Necessity, invention: micellar water in geriatric mascara tube. Vwa-fing-la. Still grading.

That time Dean Young wrote me back after I sent him my book. Write your heroes. Tell them thank you. Our words are our bonds.

A poem in case you’re feeling conflicted and convicted this morning, a poem from Cameron Awkward-Rich, “Meditations in an Emergency”

Today’s the day! The panel is billed as first year writing, but there’s lots to offer hs educators. My approach uses poetry by Nate Marshall and others to discuss our ideas about language and how they’ve shaped our schooling experiences. Hope to see you there!

The entropy of jeans at this conference gives me hope. Nobody knows anything.

Helllllooo NCTE!!! I may be biased, but look at us! We are so beautiful! Love to be in community with educators.
