Exciting news! My website has been completely revamped and, to celebrate, I am offering a FREE Zoom workshop with @MashaDC and @irenawrites on "Raising Your Bright Child: From Birth Through College." Let me know about any tech problems & see you there.

One reason I love Mary Oliver: she makes simplicity complex. This poem has been shared 1,000 times, yet on every single read, I'm hit by a different line—today, it's the final one. "The family of things." What does it mean to end a poem that rejects the human idea (1/2)

If you want to know more about post-Soviet literature, the enduring spectre of the Russia's dead white male writers, the art & science of finding a literary community, read this lovely convo between @bowlga & @jackboulware. Also, remember the band Tatu? Yup they're in there, too

The bookmarks are ready! #Sovietborn🌷

Huge thanks to @UJAfedNY for hosting my New York event this week and to @IamAlinaAdams for the incredible conversation! This was long in the making & feels like my book has come full circle. The best part was the heartfelt convos and connections made after the talk. My 💙 is full

Finally met my incredible literary agents IRL for the first time and am so grateful. Writing and publishing, like any creative endeavor, is tough business, but it’s a great deal easier when someone believes in your work and cheers you on ✨
