you can now pre-order THE HUNGERING YEARS, out from @hostpublications.bsky.social 2.24.26 💜🌻 hostpublications.com/collections/...

hi everyone! here is the cover of The Tower, designed by akiko stehrenberger. i cannot believe how beautiful it is. i can't wait to hold it.

We need indie publishers. We need our literary communities to thrive. Catapult was a place where I saw students become published writers, then authors, and sometimes teachers. Where I was lucky to work and collaborate, for a while, with some of the most brilliant & kind people in the business.

if you've ever accused me of murder then you have to preorder. this is not a threat. there is no reason to be uncomfortable around me, regardless of your state of residence. do not believe what you've heard.

If you value your long-term health and cognitive function, masking and protecting yourself from COVID are some of the highest ROI things you can do. I realize it’s not considered cool or fun to say this, but it’s true

im still figuring out how to explain this book to people so today i will add that it is a sapphic romance

"I think that a poem can energize, it can motivate. It can be fuel, it can be articulation for a feeling, a feeling that leads to action and work." On the blog: Summer Farah interviewed by Marlin M. Jenkins. @summ.bsky.social @hostpublications.bsky.social prairieschooner.unl.edu/digital-scho...

academics trying to normalize acceptance of AI hallucinated citations in their field: do you seriously expect me to show my work and check my work me, baffled, a naïf, a fool: yes that’s why it’s called *your* *work*
