Claudia Rankine: "Without a full accounting of the reality, there can be no remedy. To look away is a form of collaboration." I believe this like I believe I'm breathing.

i'm such a dramatic reader ..... if i'm on the train and a white man looks at me the wrong way then when i get home i immediately climb into bed, light a three-wick candle and read claudia rankine's "citizen" from cover-to-cover

We are so excited to meet @KaliMaFaja in a few short weeks!

“At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this?
And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?” - Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

These are just a few of the mini sagas our interns wrote, inspired by the beautiful short “Sugar Babies” by the lovely Kali Fajardo-Anstine as a part of her collection Sabrina & Corina

The interns and our fearless leader wearing sunglasses in preparation for the arrival of a star, Kristen Arnett!! Hosting a Winter With the Writers Alum has to be our proudest moment. Can you spot Mostly Dead Things?? #futuretoobright

When the flu is going around but you’ll stop at nothing to attend the Kristen Arnett reading and Q&A this Thursday at 7:30pm in Suntrust Auditorium 😷🤒

The interns and our fearless leader were so thrilled to welcome Kristen Arnett back to Rollins College for our first ever Intern Reunion!!

Guys...Kristen Arnett ’s masterclass is tomorrow...🤯I don’t think this is something you want to miss.

To say we are excited to host Ilya Kaminsky Katie Farris @KaliMaFaja this week is a gross understatement. ARE YOU READY?

A huuuuuge shoutout to Writer’s Block Bookstore for being such strong supporters of the Winter With the Writers festival this season!

This evening at 5pm we welcome Lisa Lucas in the Galloway Room in the newly constructed Rollins Hall! Be sure to take notes...as the executive director of the National Book Foundation, her insight into the literary space is invaluable.

We love this festival! 🥰
