- This fun Mrs. Dalloway-inspired (!) mixtape over at The Paris Review
- This thought-provoking and upsetting essay by Saeed Jones on BuzzFeed, "Self-Portrait of the Artist as Ungrateful Black Writer"
- "Let's Get Personal: On Full Financial Aid at Fancy Schools," a great and informative article at The Hairpin, by Nicole Cliffe and Nicole Soojung Callahan.
- New to the Lost Coast, by Joshua Butts. Fabulous poems here! There's a whole section of poems named after Southern Ohio roads...I really enjoyed these. Here's one short poem from the book, a whopping 8 words including the title. It's impressive to me how well it works! It's inspiring me to want to write a short poem like this.
And you, friends? Happy weekend, whatever you're perusing...
I've been piling through my stacks of unread journals lately. I've read three out of four issues of Huizache. (So great. So amazed I will have two poems in the fifth issue!) Currently reading Frogpond 38.1 (the journal of Haiku Society of America), and learning so much from the essays.
