Registration for #AmherstLitFest opens in 18 minutes, and apparently we're coiled like it's Target on Black Friday?

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o at @AmherstCollege celebrating his 80th birthday with a reading, a conversation, song & dance, and TWO flavors of cake. Now someone get him that Nobel Prize! #AmherstLitFest

Rafael Campo at #AmherstLitFest - poetry models a way past rote expression, interpretation, certainty.
