Extraordinary new work from Joan Naviyuk Kane. I always learn something from her poems, always. No matter how many times I read the lines. So dense, so intelligent, so kinetic.

Copies of Joan Naviyuk Kane’s book With Snow Pouring South Past the Window and Corinna Cook’s Permafrost is an Archive: And other Inheritances from the Alaska-Yukon borderlands

An exceptional Alaska lit mail day!

I’m heading to #AWP26 (my first AWP!) later this week, and am very excited about my travel reading.

Houses floated away in this Alaska Native village. Now residents want to move Kwigillingok, Alaska, has long grappled with erosion and flooding. Residents want to move to higher ground, further inland, especially after the remnants of Typhoon Halong damaged nearly every house.

Woke up to this excellent roundup.

@johannawinant.bsky.social rockin miniature custom merch, this child now does all of his “leisure” reading in Latin and Latin only

I was there, ofc lol

spent my morning (in between making breakfasts/lunches & getting my kids out the door to school) talking a former grad student down from the ledge (over the abyss of teaching doubt this semester has caused) over text & as I pause to load & start the dishwasher I gotta say all of this is soooo grim

The HIGH temp in Anchorage on Monday is forecast to be 9 degrees. Thousands of people remain displaced and you can still make a diff if you donate via bit.ly/help4wak

Understandable! Open invitation. Many Reed students will be in the crowd both Monday and Tuesday, wishing you all safe and COVID-less travels!!

John! Any chance you can fit a visit to my intro workshop at Reed next week between PDX shows? They have, among other things, written golden shovels that you would like!!! I think?!

To be fair, circumstances make me more exhausted by the American project than usual and in the words of my 15yo after my 11 parent-teacher-conference-morn b4 teaching yesterday I asked: “was I at 11 and I should have been at 10?” 15yo said, “mom, you were at 11 and really you should have been at 16”

I was coerced into watching this over the weekend and it was among the most irritating things to see during flucking Native American Heritage Month; maybe it was the settler who made me watch it and my irritation with that, but nah, it’s like pop culture keeps circling Indigeneity from the outside
