Prose writer friends, do you have any recs of books written by women of color in a vignette style, à la Sandra Cisneros’ “The House on Mango Street”? Looking to build my stock of mentor texts to use for the workshops I lead. Fiction, nonfiction, prose poetry, any of these. Thanks for your help!
Derek Walcott’s “Love After Love.” One of my favorite poems that holds the meaning of true self love. Also, Rilke’s “Geh bis an Deiner Sehnsucht Rand” (“Go to the Limits of your Longing”), both in German and in a fave English translation, because of its bravery.

A black and white poster featuring a giant kaiju monster with his first curled and power emanating from it. The text reads "Protect Your Neighbors" and "Abolish ICE"
Decided to repurpose an old sketch for a new message from our giant pal: Protect Your Neighbors and Abolish ICE. Link in the next post to download and share a high-res version of the artwork, use it however you want. Maybe we’ll do t-shirts or something and donate the proceeds?

Highway sign, or possibly a threat: new year new you use your blinker.
Now I have both that Sesame Street “12!!!!” song and “Nine Nine Nine” from Square One Television” in my head. 12💗9
What did you use for the sausage coating?

In all of your work (from the cosmetics to the portraits), to me, the subjects have a depth to them, a weight, a feeling of being ✨More✨. That’s what’s always been memorable about your art for me. It’s all valuable.
