Seeing my #poem in the city of my birth & in this prominent/accessible way is beyond my wildest writerly dreams 🥹

Wrote about Toronto’s housing for artists—or the dire lack thereof, & what that means for BIPOC artists—for @thismagazine (thx for the space, @sarratch) 🎨💔

“My aura is the mystery of life. Renouncing my name, I go beyond myself, and then I am the world. I follow the voice of the world with my single voice.” —Clarice Lispector
"...We are living in the time of rampant, celebrated, unabashed anti-intellectualism. It's bizarre to think that most people expect authors to write entertaining narratives and not comment on timely topics."
I wrote about my experience in France for @esquire. It’s a bittersweet piece about the treatment authors get there compared to the one we get here at home. A million thanks to @adriennemwest for letting me write this! Hope y’all dig it.

i really love Macklemore’s Hind’s Hall💯—but let’s not forget it was a Black rapper named Redveil who was the 1st artist to name all children killed in Gaza, call for a ceasefire & say “Free Palestine!” during a live concert
he was 19 & it was nov 12th
Gold & waxing poetic ✨ thinking about spectral homelands burning brightly / in the distance / how poetry tends to this distance #africa #africanauthor #africanliterature #authorlife #bipocauthors #book #books #eastafrica #nubia #poems #poet #poetry #writer #writerslife

This text was recently written by Aaron Bushnell. It demonstrates that Bushnell was entirely sane, knew his facts, was logical, coherent, and thoroughly lucid.
