As we leave “best of” season and jump right into “most anticipated” season, remember that the art you create is going to mean something to somebody, whether it’s on a list or not.

We’re so immensely proud of Matthew Morris and his essay “Tidal Wave,” among the non-fiction honored in this year’s #bestamericanessays. “Tidal Wave” is Matthew’s first publication. Support emerging writers, friends. It’s important work.

Justice for Breonna Taylor would actually mean Breonna was alive, with us, perhaps unknown to us in a sea of Black folks in the world. Pigs in a cage ain't justice, that's liminal harm.

Our hearts are broken and our thoughts are with Chadwick Boseman's family. Your legacy will live on forever. Rest In Peace.

Growing up, Mom said many times that we have to work twice as hard as white people just to be seen as equal to them. How much was riding on Chadwick to execute the role of T'Challa for the film's success? To make possible roles/films like that for other Black actors? He did it.

Today's feature poem from @POETSorg is "Nothing" by Krysten Hill @UMass_BostonMFA alum and @DotWrite featured reader! Find @KrystenSHill book "How Her Spirit Got Out" from @aptmag #readlocal
I never looked into a sky
and said it was empty. Maybe that’s why I imagine a god up there to fill
what seems unimaginable.
