I’m an author in a movie. After settling at my immaculate desk I stare into the middle distance for a moment before beginning to type. I don’t stop until I have an impressive stack of printed pages next to me. I don’t check Twitter or Instagram and I am always dressed.

I know you’ve only asked for my quick review of this doc, but I’ve gone ahead and sent it to 47 other people for their input. Perhaps you can move your deadline back?

Everything going great in Van Wert County, Ohio, where someone broke into a farm and released up to 40,000 live minks. Now the county has more minks than people running around. 11/10 Ohioing right here. wtol.com/article/life/animal…

This is kind of unique, I think — from UVA President Ryan: "My wife, Katie, and I are opening our home—Carr’s Hill—to students every afternoon this week from 2-5pm for those who wish to come together and hang out with each other and a dog or cat, or two."

Grateful to have 2 poems in the newest issue of Southeast Review (@SoutheastReview). This one's ("And") first draft was written in the company of my cohort at Cave Canem in the summer of 2018. Grateful to my cohort and Chris Abani who gave me feedback.
