Sometimes you write something and it goes on to have a life in the world and in people’s lives on its own. I’m blessed that a few pieces of mine have done so. This piece ‘Thirst’ has travelled far indeed that one could write its biography one day. youtube.com/shorts/_Iwes... #poetry #books

So much here applies to the book world: “Cultural canonization operates like an exclusive country club - one where the membership committee keeps insisting they're working on diversity while somehow managing to admit people who look remarkably like themselves.”

4th Draft—I think it's done. It's only a two-and-a-half thousand-word piece, but it's taken years of getting to this point, Finally, part of my heart says to send it in today. My writer's heart knows to wait a few more days and look again. #books #writing #literature
