I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

that unending crescendo, feels like I’m the one who’s unbreakable.“

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Jubi Arriola-Headley.

Our condolences to the Miami poetry community and to the many who knew and cared about him.

“Let’s make room for many modes of survival.”

@khadijahqueen.com’s RADICAL POETICS asks: what would our literary spaces look like if we actually meant this?

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza.

His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.
