I’m so excited to share that my book, A House of Men I Am or Used to Be, has been named a finalist for the Trio Award. The award honors an emerging poet whose manuscript “contributes in an innovative and distinct way to American poetry.”
We are so pleased to share the @triohousepress.org 2026 Trio Award Finalists! Congratulations to all!

And now companies can determine what illnesses should be cured and prevented based on their religious “beliefs,” which in themselves are discriminatory
BREAKING: US District Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas rules that requiring employers to provide coverage for PrEP drugs (preventing the transmission of HIV) violates the religious rights of employers under federal law (RFRA).

Great cover of Landslide and honestly one of the best tours of her career. So glad to have joined for a few shows on the way.
And just like that, another @toriamos tour in the record books 🙌🏼 Tonight’s #OceanToOcean Tour finale was a total vibe, and her performance of #Landslide was a perfect addition to the final setlist of the tour. Thank you, #ToriAmos, for giving me a bunch… ift.tt/6XvIFLb

Ban assault rifles, not books. Regulate firearms, not women’s bodies. Protect kids, not lobbyists.
