A young artist, Julia Lion, sat at the back of my reading at Lange Studio for “Diaspora of Things,” jotting down her favorite phrases. She sketched me on her IPad. I love the image she created! It is so much fun!

The totality of David Byrne’s art piece- ie his massively conceived conceptual concert — is inspiring in its daring and overstuffedness. No minimalism here. One of the reasons I loved it. Like he’s back at #RISD, having rolled up a lifetime of curiosity & sensory experience. #DavidByrne #concert

Yehuda Amichai from Open Closed Open. So felicitously said! The point is as universal as it gets— we have to fiercely guard hope. And particular for Yom Kippur — be strong and strengthen your heart. Life isn’t for the weak hearted.

A taste of my chapbook, “Diaspora of Things.” Every poem could be accompanied by a sad monkey, though this one is particularly apt. Launch: 9/27, 6pm, Riffraff, 60 Valley St, Providence, RI.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.
