Been off the grid a bit doing some traveling, working, and generally trying not to be overwhelmed by the state of things. Prepare yourself for a steady stream of travel pics and random news 💕💕

Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright and poet who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930's. In different translations, this poem's title is sometimes "To Those Born After" and "wrongdoing" is often "misdeeds" or "horrors." No matter how it's translated, I feel this deep in my bones.

Our colleagues at Gettysburg Review have received some devastating news. It’s alarming for the literary community as a whole, & the SLM fam encourages everyone to voice their thoughts to the university that defunded them. All our voices matter!
