Poets & writers are indeed such famous mushrooms, overall…so I like when we go wide in acknowledgment.

Chat with friend yesterday—and we LOVE CARSON. This is said with such admiration! But this Nobel is like crowning someone who is already king.

Like, I love Anne Carson. I wrote my MA thesis on collage poetics and NOX and Walter Benjamin. I’ve read all her work. I stan her! But I love when the Nobel reminds the world of a writer who might be overlooked, and overdue for wider acknowledgment. Annie Ernaux. Han Kang.

I developed my taste in literature by checking out random books from my local library based on how gay they looked.

This is excellent, though (ahh and so is Party Down!!)

Today! A couple River River titles will be in attendance including Jameela Dallis’s ENCOUNTERS FOR THE LIVING AND THE DEAD! Come hear Jameela and editor Han read together with friends! 📚👻🖤

My darlings I’m bringing the wine & sparkling water & books & poets—you bring your beautiful self. 💫💫💫 4pm. Easement Gallery, Durham NC

I like Carson! Carson is not diminished by my post, lollll

Forever - is composed of Nows - Emily Dickinson, (624) The Complete Poems
