Memory Piece 'belongs to an American literary tradition that includes Dana Spiotta, George Saunders & their patron saint, Don DeLillo: writers whose characters sense their lives happen at the whim of forces too enormous to understand or evade, but set out to dodge them anyway.' !

Swift River by Essie J. Chambers

A heartrending, moving story of family, loss, navigating the heartbreak of loss, and finding a path to a new future.

IF YOU LEAVE ME was an extraordinary literary debut from author Crystal Hana Kim | 김하나 so of course I’ve been counting the days until her latest novel THE STONE HOME came out. Better yet, found it a few days early at B&N!

“Worried about climate change? Read these women authors”

Wednesday!!! Very excited. But obvioulsy not nervous because why would I be. Not nervous at all. Not me. Anyhow, register! Marilynne Robinson won't be nervous and she's the whole point.

Many thanks to the generous Lorraine Berry is on cerulean skies now who not only honored me with this profile about my new book for the Los Angeles Times but ALSO mailed me lobelia flower seeds to plant in my garden in the Bronx.

I have a story up on Electric Literature today from GREEN FROG (which comes out 2MRW!!!). It's about memory, a slightly otherworldly spa, and the lengths we'll go to keep from being haunted. Thank you so much to jade song, author of the brilliant CHLORINE, for recommending this one 💜

grateful to indie booksellers who selected MEMORY PIECE as an April Indie Next pick!

Janice Burgess, the creator of ‘The Backyardigans’ has sadly passed away at the age of 72. She was Gullah Geechee. Rest in Purpose.

Can’t wait for this one!
