Surprise Me! | Talking Writing

Not sure what to read next? Try your luck here:

media debate • books • movies

I could still hear the movie voices circling at the bottom of the staircase like lost and scared children in a forest.

why I write • faith • visual art

Climb until every pixel  of the sky’s bloom falls directly into your view.

advice • teaching • interviews

I just knew that, as a black woman, if I wanted to write, I needed some credentials.

fiction • memoir • writer's life

My aunt’s attitudes reminded me of the cultural practice of senicide, abandoning the aging to die.

featured poets • poetry spotlights

I notice buds late to their blossoming, a flaw that makes one realize sunlight offers no clues.

from adoption to writerly sins...

In the battle over submission fees, what troubles me most is the idea that writers do everything and editors do nothing.
