I'm delighted to share the cover of Continental Drift, which will be published by @triohousepress.org this July! Many thanks to @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social. Photo by Adam Hong Arts; cover design by Joel W. Coggins. The story behind it all here: chireviewofbooks.com/2026/02/10/e...

Exclusive Cover Reveal!

“Rootedness and flight next to each other. Ephemeral and vulnerable, but uncontained, these borderless birds! I love the story of my uncle, artist and photographer Adam Hong, walking through a snow-filled Central Park, hoping to photograph birds, and the photographing sets off a chaos of departure, and this surprise image.”

Highlighting this one in particular because I know that many, many, many Minneapolis-area instructors are struggling with how to make classes that were going to be fully in person work in a hybrid format (to support students who aren’t safe coming to campus).

I have a new poem out in the wild(ness). Times are so hard that this feels small. But poetry has reminded me daily we can still think and create freely. I love this journal's sense of beauty and wonder and am delighted that "Field Trip" found a home there: readwildness.com/37/

DHS said she was a terrorist sympathizer and “involved in activities supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization." Revoked visa, but offered no evidence. Social media was pro-Gaza, but she said she did not attend any protest. Offered no due process.

The sad irony of our unconstitutional moment is that the perspectives of foreign students can be particularly valuable when foreign affairs dominate American discourse. It’s a dreadful thing to declare to immigrants or foreign students, “Welcome to the land of the free: Now watch what you say.”

I'm ashamed and disgusted that University of Virginia's Board of Visitors voted to end DEI, just a few years after literal Nazis marched with torches on Grounds, and I said so via email. Addresses for you to speak up, too: president@virginia.edu, boardofvisitors@virginia.edu wapo.st/4bvXN8M

University of Virginia board votes to end DEI office
UVA is the latest school to dismantle its office of diversity, equity and inclusion, and some say other Virginia universities could follow.
