My book, "Jackpot," is out in paperback today! Pls read/RT this 🧵...
Striking it rich is among the most resilient of American fantasies. We dream of the jackpot, the exit, the big payday. We spent $95 billion on lottery tickets in 2021, more than the GDPs of most nations!

One of the best things about poetry in audiobook format is that the authors frequently narrate their own work 🥰
