being a grad student is fearing that your final paper for a class has to be 8-10 pages and then being relieved to discover its actually 10-20 pages

#grad schoolin #i already found so many sources that i wanna discuss!! so many pieces that i want to analyze!!! i was so scared! #my topic is investigating the 'after-poem' aka the 'response poem' and its implications toward community-building :~) #im gna be referencing such poets as: josé olivarez - nate marshall - danez smith - richard siken! - mary oliver #and many others! #my introduction will be about having a coke with you and having ''having a coke with you'' with you :') :') #if you're a poet and you've written a response poem and would potentially like to be interviewed for my research lmk!!!!!!

Nightingale: Chapter 1 Webweave // MCYTblr AU Fest Summer 2023 // sources under readmore

It was a cold winter when Tango found out his life and everyone else’s around him would be ending soon. Any future goals, any postponed decision, everything became meaningless as the present became all they had left. Tango tasked himself with saving everyone.

The end is coming, there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

José Olivarez on "Promises of Gold," His Bilingual Poetry Collection Seeped in Love

Image Source: Mercedes Zapata Can we take a moment to remember March 2020? The month when the COVID-19 pandemic began uprooting life in the United States as we knew it. When people grew sick and death tolls rose. When businesses shut down, education systems were transformed, and nearly every sport was halted. In those early days, there were so many unknowns about the infectious disease itself. “I…

‘Citizen Illegal’ by Jose Olivarez Courtesy of publisher

Every week, The Thread checks in with booksellers around the country about their favorite books of the moment. This week, we spoke with Danny Caine from The Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kan.

Those hungering for a new poetry collection, take note. Bookseller Danny Caine recommends “Citizen Illegal” from José Olivarez.

“It’s a funny and occasionally devastating portrait of life as a first generation Mexican-American, as the son of Mexican immigrants,” Caine said.

“It starts with some really brash and funny poems, and towards the end it gets into some really tender poems about death, about the loss of a grandparent. The collection is just a really satisfying read.”

The collection is published by Haymarket as part of their BreakBeat Poets series.

Caine says the series “is putting out some of the most exciting poetry today. I tend to read everything they put out. I like it because it’s coming from the Midwest, too. It definitely has a Chicago feel to it. I always look for great art coming from the heartland.”
