This is Leela Corman – brilliant artist, maker of beautiful paintings and comics, and most of all a dear friend. She created the paintings that accompanied the Mourners premiere, and I’m sure this won’t be the last time we work together. Fingers crossed!

This is Martha Minow, 300th Anniversary University Professor, former Dean of Harvard Law School, and one of the leading scholars of constitutional law and human rights, but above all a wonderful human being. Martha gave the introduction to my event at Harvard Law School.

Another day at Harvard, this time with Stephen Greenblatt, one of the most distinguished contemporary literary scholars and Shakespeare scholars, and also someone who is definitely much better at taking selfies than I am.

A long relationship with how mortal beings fall short; with violence, and with thoughts of violence, and with kindness and care. Very short very beautiful work from @g-kwiatkowski.bsky.social today in @flaminghydra.com

My new essay, “The Woman at the Waterfall,” is in World Literature Today’s centennial issue, marking 100 years of the magazine. It’s a huge joy and honor to be part of this historic issue. It’s about Snoqualmie Falls, known from Twin Peaks, but seen from a very different perspective.
