Am much obliged to Lit Hub for including my RWE bio in their new list of impending paperbacks (in my case, the paperback pub date is in four days):

I see souls like hers as the real artists and poets of this era. This is what poets did before convinced to spend 20 years in school. Hope some of us get braver.

Schoolchildren and commuters aren't getting their buses back tomorrow, they are getting total chaos as no one will have any clue when their bus is coming.

Apparently there was some Dak Prescott spitting on the ground before the Jalen Carter spitting

Am always glad to have Merriam-Webster hit me up for sample sentences, but being associated with this word made me particularly happy:
