My first book comes out next week with Oxford University Press. From beginning to end, it’s a book that does not exist without @Baylor’s support and resources. It began as a dissertation project while I was a PhD student in history, taking classes and learning from professors in

I've never written a poem and can hardly claim to understand it, but what Ocean Vuong says here about writing and teaching poetry resonantes much with how I think about writing and teaching theology. https://t.co/e2BZBBixAT
