Sharing Josephine Reed's interview with me for Art Works, a podcast produced by @NEAarts, focusing on Alférez's art & life and links between writing biography & poetry. arts.gov/stories/podcast/kat…
The exhibition "Coalesce" matched visual artists & poets to respond to each other's work. I was lucky to be paired w/Esten Walker. She responded to my poem "Bypass" (1st appeared in @meridianuva) & I responded to "Flying Turtles & Other True Stories." What a joy! @OCNCArts #art
Interesting conversations with writers & readers @LABookFest. Fiction, poetry, non-fiction, sci-fi, YA, and more. Thanks to Bea Gyimah for organizing my reading room!

My poem "Broken" in @LaLiterature navigates choices in writing & friendship. Thanks @jackbedell for including it in Issue 39.2. Proud to be alongside @EllenJuneWrites, @mgnchols, Michael Anna De Armas & many other wonderful writers.
I leave my reading chair for two minutes to refill coffee on a Sunday morning and look who takes my seat. Meet JoJo, formally Josephine Ivy.

Thoughtful insight by @clairesuddath into the high maternal mortality rate in the US, looking at health care delivery, access, and lived experiences of women in rural areas:
Please read this incredibly well-researched, thoughtful, and compelling @business story by @clairesuddath about what it's like to give birth and take care of people giving birth in rural West Texas. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Great advice for incoming chair @AbramVanEngen:
1. Staff are the foundation of the operation. Treat them in kind fashion. They make or break your tenure.
2. Rules without relationships lead to forms of rebellion. Chairs are in the relationship business.
3. Advocacy without partnership across campus = 0 results
Go B Great!

I have reasons to agree with this sentiment on a mural at UHill in Durham, NC. I hope you do too.

Celebrating #EnriqueAlférez on his birthday, May 4. I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing his daughter Tlaloc at New Orleans Museum of Art this week. Art connects us across time & place. #nola @
