Great curation at the #Hokusai show @mfaboston These angled walls made for great vistas and pacing, esp with @Jumpei_Mitsui thrilling visitors and making 2d into 3d halfway through. Can’t wait for a return visit.

Here is a truly wonderful recording of Julian Sands passionately reciting the poetry of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley at the Keats-Shelley House in Rome. How I wish I could have been there for this reading @Keats_Shelley

I remember how Charles Simic’s students at UNH would sometimes recoil when he wrote “No” on the draft of a poem (or, worse, “it’s phony”) but then later would say “he was right—it WAS phony.” Great poet and unforgettable teacher.

Really good show by @lesliemendelson in Keene last night. I’m glad I don’t have to decide whether I like her guitar or piano songs better—she’s so great on both. @ColonialKeene

Instead of responding to the misinformed deniers, etc. about human-induced climate change, I am posting this. Feel free to retweet. Education will set you free from those poor ideas. https://t.co/3u0JairAtN #climatechange

I understand why libraries went to digital systems, but I sure miss stamps with due dates. Look at how many Provincetown readers checked out Mark Doty’s My Alexandria soon after its release. Beautiful.

The uncanny confluence of Putin's invasion and the IPCC report is a stark reminder: fossil fuel powers the worst crises facing our planet. If we use this moment to get off oil and gas, we have a fighting chance as a planet.

Today, @IPCC_CH released its latest #ClimateReport, which dives into how climate change is already affecting the world’s human and natural systems. Read the report: https://t.co/dwD6XIhXMU And hear from the report's two NOAA authors: https://t.co/Ew2nTqZYAn
