It broke my heart to write this poem, and I would give it back if I could reverse my brother's death or my mom's diagnosis. But it doesn't work like that. So I'm trying to open my hands to the joy of having a poem in @thenation.com. Thank you, Kaveh Akbar, et al.

These kinds of things made grading worthwhile. One of my favorites was a comment "shipping" Sir Toby and Sir Andrew in 12th Night...

You're very kind. And I didn't get to tell you how much I love the aesthetics of your books!

Love seeing photos of my book arriving in your hands! Let's see it with your pets, in your yard, composed on a color-coordinated fabric, as below. It never gets old...

I love that second graphic so much - would you be opposed to it being shared on other platforms? - credited to you, of course!

I'm sure you know Hedgie Choi's Salvage, but if you don't, it checks a few of those boxes and is so good.

Donna Vorreyer @djvorreyer.bsky.social · 1d

I agree! Michael Crichton's books are so good. The Abyss is still a favorite even though they made a crap movie...

I had more fun on this show than should be allowed. Hope it comes through in our conversation about my terrible poems. (Sorry, not sorry, Dave, for making you cry...)

If they have finally moved to McCormick Place, it should be better.
