Librarian in KCMO. I drink and I read things: Menus, tarot cards, the sign, audio books, sometimes in French & Russian. This is my Reading Face.

And the second ever poetry winner for the Maya Angelou Book Award is:

I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times by Taylor Byas (@taylorbyas.bsky.social) -- Soft Skull Press

This collection is inspired by The Wiz and celebrates South Side Chicago and a Black woman’s quest for self-discovery.

Congrats!

It’s not my decision. I’m not a legal expert. But I don’t think I care if Trump keeps his passport and flees to another country to escape trial. I’m ok with that. #savetrialexpenses
