a toast to Lauren, a truly wonderful writer writing what will be a wonderful book!! 🎄

Now 4/10 of the PEN/Jean Stein longlisters have said no to the $75K prize in protest of PEN America. Camonghne Felix Ordinary Notes Maya Binyam Alejandro Varela. 3/10 so far for Poetry. Many more in other categories. PEN’s current leadership is untrustworthy & has compromised its mission.

I told you tonight we die as a family

Despite my deep gratitude to the judges who believed in my book, BIANCA, I have withdrawn from consideration for the 2024 PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. I made this choice in keeping with the boycott sustained against @penamerica, and in solidarity with Palestine. 🧵

Last December, Sabrina Imbler's feature on de-extinction blew me away. They truly grappled with the science and ethics of de-extinction in a way I hadn't seen before, and it was a privilege to talk with them about how they pulled it off for The Open Notebook.
