Elleza Kelley's "Flight Lines" reads across African American literature and art, showing how black form is fundamentally shaped by efforts to represent black space. Read the intro for free now: buff.ly/BmpwRcc

Cover of Flight Lines: A Poetics of Black Space by Elleza Kelley. The cover has an abstract watercolor aesthetic. Color splotches meet geometric buildings on a block of green, streaky land halfway on the page. In the foreground, two figures carry an umbrella, with objects scattered throughout the space The title is in thin black, italics on the top right and the subtitle is in red and smaller on the top left. The author's name is center right in small, white letters.

Something has really bothered me about the Gloria Steinem discourse—something that's not really about Gloria Steinem. So, I wrote about it.

We grieve the worlds we’ve known and what it felt like to live in them.

Is anyone else thinking about how Canadian unis are recruiting loads of US scholars while aggressively sustaining hiring freezes and actively defunding fields like humanities, black studies, gender studies and insisting that international graduate students somehow drain the sector’s economy? I am.

Sending a package to the USA from Canada takes longer and is more frustrating than grading a stack of 1st year essays on intersectionality.

there’s so much terrible here, so little to listen to forever. I long for Leonard Cohen and Etta James and someone reading me Pale Fire before bed.

Reading books and owning books are not the same thing. But this article, partly cuz of its focus on influencers and celebrities, suggests as much but never mentions libraries. Reading books does not require owning books. We can be sexy without owning stuff, lol. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Celebrities are hosting literary clubs and designers are launching products emblazoned with the classics – but does reading’s trendy turn have a darker side?
