For this #LiteraryLandscapes essay, I appreciate how Monique focuses less on Morrison's fiction and thinks more about her as a public speaker and symbol.

One of the super cool things about this essay was how Alice takes the experience of reading and thinking about Morrison and connects it to her own life, an ocean away.

Trivius takes such a cool, personal angle on Morrison—it's a great example of an approach that not everyone has access to!.
Toni Morrison & West Point—speaking to Plebes, Morrison makes “the auditorium, alive with the resonance of storytelling,” a space of racial belonging. #LiteraryLandscapes by @TriviusC. #ToniMorrison #Home #ThayerHall #WestPoint #NewYork

I've never had two essays in the same volume deal with locations in the same city, but I love how Ashley's essay about Lakeview Park plays off Tara's reflections on Morrison's childhood home.

Absolutely unsurprising—yet still damning—to read the stats about Florida university professors fleeing the state that Dew cites in this column. It doesn't have to be this way.

The cost has already been severe, and it is only going to get worse with professors looking to leave the state.

Thanks to Bitter Southerner for publicizing resistance to FL censorship efforts: “School board elections are winnable,” Moricz said. “The margins are winnable. We’re able to show students that if one marching band voted, they could flip a school board.”

With all the stories and commentary about Walz’s Midwestern masculinity, I’m feeling pretty good about the conclusion to Old-Fashioned Modernism
