Looking forward to @kimmannix.bsky.social’s book launch tmrw! A bit of my blurb: Mannix meets the current moment with a resonant anguish. Yet in memory, in motherhood, and in love, she also finds “something like wonder/ sticking its bony finger in my fat dread.”

My kids are voracious readers, but I think a lot about attention in the digital age, and the stakes are high: “The neural pathways…built through sustained attention to text, are the same ones that enable complex reasoning, empathy, and the kind of patient thinking that democracy requires.”
