When you come across racists complaining about Bad Bunny today, don’t forget to hit them with this: Puerto Rican literature about Puerto Rico written by a boricua. Yo sería borincano aunque naciera en la luna. Thanks and hope you have a great Sunday! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

There is such irony in building a microchap about ****** *********.

Someone just tried to make the argument that writing isn't work. Like um... hello, are you unwell?

If we don't use our small poetry presses, we'll lose them. This is why I refuse to flinch or shy from asking you to purchase a copy of Whatever You Do, Just Don't, my second full collection. Here's a sample poem from the book. Just drop me a DM and I'll sort out a signed copy for you...

Met two of my literary icons, Sarah Kay and Clint Smith, tonight after driving from Baltimore to Bethesda, and my word, for also being a writer, I could not get words to formulate when talking to them. Grateful to be in their presence. What a great night.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.
