1. Very excited to be accepted into the Sage Hill Poetry Course this summer, led by poet Michael Trussler. I’ll be working on editing existing poems and writing some new ones to complete a chapbook manuscript. ✨

International students are being hunted on their campuses. For raising their voices for justice. This is pure evil.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
