To my tiny twitter audience, I wanted to share my debut poetry collection, Insensible Losses, which just came out for preorder from Nymeria Publishing: https://t.co/3GpxtyTFGE It charts a course from patient to doctor, fear to joy (and more fear!)

Social distancing in overcrowded prisons is impossible. Today 200+ MDs call on @GavinNewsom to listen to public health experts and lower San Quentin pop to <50% capacity. @CACorrections must grant releases and stop transfers now to #StopSanQuentinOutbreak!
