For @BOMBmagazine I wrote about the ways that art inspired and shaped my memoir SPLINTERS. I think of it as an exhibition catalogue for the book. And a chance to fulfill my lifelong dream of titling an essay, "EAT CAKE, BRING BABY." It's a feast. Enjoy. bombmagazine.org/articles/20…

Today, in an old box, I found my first submission letter sent when I was 16. I wrote @EllenDatlow , editor at Omni magazine. It didn’t work out then but she did edit The Ballad of Black Tom years later. I love the earnestness of my 16 yr. old self. Took time, but he made it.

The difficult thing about writing is that you have to love all your characters even the unlovable ones. #amwriting

Peter Taylor Fellow, @ginathechung, has a glowing recommendation for Souvankham Thammavongsa's “How to Pronounce Knife,” calling it “a stirring and continually surprising collection of stories that completely upended my expectations of what a short story should be or can do.”

Their love is the stuff of fairytales. The Changeling premieres September 8 on Apple TV+
A couple sits aboard a New York City subway. The character of Apollo (played by LaKeith Stanfield in The Changeling) stares lovingly at his pregnant wife Emma (played Clark Backo) who gazes down at her baby bump.
