We grieve with our community.
Renée Nicole Good was a poet. From Graywolf Director & Publisher Carmen Giménez:⁠ ⁠ Renée Nicole Good was a poet, killed by ICE yesterday in South Minneapolis. This is devastating.⁠ ⁠ As a Minneapolis-based publisher, our hearts break for our neighbors and community. Our mission is to publish the work of people who resist injustice, who refuse to be silenced, whose stories the world refuses to hear. This work, which has always been central to who we are, is not separate from what’s happening now.⁠ ⁠ We grieve with our community. Despite the fear and intimidation, we are committed to showing up in every way available to us.

The chutzpah and pathos and sparkle of Mandy-Suzanne Wong's language. Such imaginative creatures deserve such an imaginative writer, so full of feeling and fellow-feeling. I loved this curveball of a book!

“I’m going to miss working on this book with you.” Trying author Chloé Caldwell to her @graywolfpress.bsky.social editor Yuka Igarashi. I wish all authors that kind of relationship with their editors (including future me!).

"In 1994 I was seventeen: my daughter’s age! I remember that as a time when I was trying to figure out who I was," Maggie shares in episode 1421. "But to some degree we’re always trying to figure that out, aren’t we?"

🆕 on Lab Games: An essay by Marlin M. Jenkins on playing video games during the summer of 2020, and the hope in the voice of video game actor Billy Kametz. Read it here:

graywolflab.org/2025/12/18/v...
“Part of what’s appealing to me about games like Persona 5 is how they ask what we can do to intervene in a broken world. The protagonist and his growing team of companions are able to infiltrate the subconscious worlds of people in power and ‘change their heart,’ after which they acknowledge and take responsibility for the harm they’ve caused. . . . What if we could pluck trauma out like a rotten tooth?” —Marlin M. Jenkins, from “Versions and Voices”
