For @ElectricLit I wrote about the lack of disability representation in writing workshops, my @SundressPub craft book NERVE, and seven recent poetry collections about the disability experience.

Reading Esther in 2025 involves acknowledging all the book has to say, from the instability of state politics to the multitude of ways we have to resist to, perhaps most importantly right now, the violence we can also cause under the banner of self-defense.
Shane Burley (@shane_burley1) talks to Jewish authors about how they’re spending Purim, a holiday built around the Book of Esther, during a time when the Biblical tale has been co-opted by the far-right to attack Palestinians and pro-Palestinian activists. buff.ly/NOmLxrr

Excited to have this poem come out in @ElectricLit today. This is a vulnerable one I was anxious to put out in the world, and one that means a lot to me. Grateful to the team especially editor @lucekel for their care and to my mothers.

For @ElectricLit I wrote about common microaggressions in the ableist writing workshop, ways disabled writers can resist in order to reclaim their stories, and my @SundressPub craft book NERVE.

Talked with my good friend @WriterCass about No Offense & navigating (for a 2nd time) an administration hellbent on erasing queer & trans people. This interview really gets to the heart of why this book feels like a form of resistance now. Many thanks to @ElectricLit!
Jackie Domenus (@jackiedwrites) on the idea for their “No Offense” stemming from facing microaggressions that were “micro” to the commenter, but are consuming for the queer and trans folks on the receiving end

Loved creating this list for @ElectricLit of books featuring women coming of age in their 30s and 40s (ie. my favorite kinds of books)!
Who says coming-of-age has to happen when you’re a young adult? (@emjsmith)

COVER REVEAL!
Thrilled to share the cover of Bind Me Tighter Still via @ElectricLit: bit.ly/bindmereveal I started this book in 2016, fueled by rage at injustice, patriarchy & motherhood’s challenges. It feels even more timely today. Special thank you to @RedHenPress! 🌊🧜♀️

I was asked to write an intro to this excerpt from @PaulTheroux_ 's new book.
‘First Love’ has a sharp bite of satire that skewers pretension, crisp dialogue, and an eye for the small, clear detail that reveals someone’s deepest character. Read it here 👇
