I'm sorry to hear of Nikki Giovanni's passing. Hosting her during Fremd High School’s Writers Week in 2000 was more than memorable. Her conversation was music, her energy was infinite, and her poetry made a difference. #nikkigiovanni

Poet Jessica Frank bakes Christmas cookies every day for the first 24 days of December. She has been blogging about it since 2012. Now it’s a new cookbook 24 DAYS OF COOKIES. I have no idea how to review a cookbook w/o making the recipes. Maybe I’d better get busy on that. @meanjessica.bsky.social
