Jokic is unguarded, unstoppable. His greatness, no joke. With a ring now on his resume along with his multiple MVPs, he puts himself in a rarified category of all-time NBA elites. #NBAFinals #Jokic

Friendly reminder: my new book The Hummingbird Diary is coming soon, July 18. Brief description: Throughout the book’s poems, the hummingbird both symbolizes and encompasses the vitality of movement and energy, whether in civic action or personal beliefs. #bookcommunity

My new book The Hummingbird Diary has arrived! amazon.com/Hummingbird-Di… I’ll be donating half the sales to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, so I hope you’ll support the book for a good cause. #newbook #bookrelease #booklaunch

Nelson Mandela lived with purpose we should all aspire to & he gave us sage guidance to live by: “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” “There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.” #MandelaDay

Who else reveres Colson Whitehead as much as I do? The Underground Railroad & The Nickel Boys are historical lit masterpieces, and Harlem Shuffle is a superb blend of crime caper/family drama. Now I’m diving into the next book in the Harlem saga, Crook Manifesto. #colsonwhitehead

Many thanks to everyone who has helped launch my new book The Hummingbird Diary to a great start, and hopefully many more readers will support my cause of donating half the sales to St. Jude Children’s Hospital: amazon.com/Hummingbird-Di…

Sam Szanto, 'This Was Your Mother' out now’s story collection If No One Speaks had me gripped to her thrilling and dramatic narratives, many of which had me reflecting on their message about strong women enduring and overcoming hardship and retaining dignity and hope.

I’ve been on a J.M. Coetzee rereading spree for the past month. These six titles are among my favorites in his oeuvre. Who else finds his major works as indelible and searing as I do? #jmcoetzee #amreading

As one of my favorite books, Open City offers new insights each rereading with its luminous, intelligent observations and musings about humanity, history, race, culture, memory, cognition, art, science. Now I eagerly await Teju Cole’s new novel Tremor, due out Oct 17. #TejuCole

With complexity and clarity, brashness and eloquence, Teju Cole’s novel Tremor enlightens and unnerves us, compels us to reflect and reconsider, to unlearn and learn again, to counter falsehoods, to illuminate truth, to wake us up. My review: goodreads.com/review/show/58… #TejuCole
