By some of the email requests I get from Can Lit men—you'd think I work for them. My new super power is the unanswered email. And if I don't answer an email by mistake—by all means circle back but first ask yourself if you've asked me to do something FOR you then it might not be a mistake.

Now shall I praise the cities, those long-surviving (I watched them in awe) great constellations of earth. for only in praising is my heart still mine, so violently do I know the world. And even my lament turns into a paean before my disconsolate heart. - Rilke, in a fragment

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 93 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
