Little thing: if you are a person who likes notebooks, this is a very good one (bit of a notebook splurge). Also Wonder Fair in Lawrence, KS, has all the good notebooks and pens, and they ship anywhere and quickly.

56 today. Family, walks, food, worked on the novel, talked, read, laughed, tried for a little to forget the world.

I’ve never felt any patriotism. Loyal mainly to the idea of taking care of the earth and each other.

I promise to stop talking about this today (there are obviously far bigger things happening) but I did want to call out that these books are all from small/university presses. In a lit world where it’s really hard to break a collection out, I’m grateful for the attention to small-press books!

Free speech protections fully invalidated. This is heartbreaking and terrifying

This book - so many iterations and rejections and years of giving up and starting again - and now I’m so happy to see it on this finalist list. (Biggest thank you Stillhouse Press and Bingham judges 💚).

Republicans in Congress somehow not bothered by the fact that under a dictatorship they too lose their power.

You either believe in free speech, or you do not. And Chuck Schumer does not.

Distractions: long walk to the cemetery, an unexpected wishing tree + younger kid’s new records
