Chapattis for breakfast on Passover is the best. Takes about 15 minutes start to finish. Then you melt some butter, fry an egg, top it with some feta, and grind a little black pepper

Finished this book in one sitting while my son is at bball practice — a masterpiece. Met this author at AWP! He said some smart things at the panel I liked the most: the new American labor poetry.

Reading this book (“Being Jewish after the destruction of Gaza— a reckoning,” by Peter Beinart) is like reading my own brain set down in type, but more organized and articulate. Hope you have this in your to-read list, Jewish friends.

Smart, funny, and surreal poets Joanna Fuhrman and Caroline Hagood warmed up the room with a projected scene from Back to the Future, read incredible poems, & talked about how writing allows us to build a time machine and bring back the dead (but not really! We understand)!

Really enjoying this novel so far! Kantika, by Elizabeth Graver, is about a Jewish family in Turkey in the early 1900s. The author is giving a talk at my synagogue in a few weeks. My dad’s side has the same background, so it’s interesting to me, but the story and writing are good too.
