Counter-programming the State of the Union
So, tomorrow—Tuesday, 24 February, 6:00 PM PT/9:00 PM ET—I’m doing a virtual book event for City Lights in San Francisco. I’ll be reading from She is Here, and talking with the editor, Nisi Shawl, about the book, the editing process, and—yes!—politics. What, you’re surprised? Come on, it’s City Lights; the Outspoken Author series, “designed to fit your pocket and stretch your mind,” is all about “today’s edgiest fiction writers” showcasing “their most provocative and politically challenging stories,”; and, well, the State of the Union. How could we not get political? Therefore, as well as poems and art and fiction, we’ll talk about manifestos and activism and what role writers can play in creating change.
So what would you rather listen to for ninety minutes: lively book-and-art-as-activism chat, or some bloated rambling about the (very sad) State of the Union?
Assuming you know the right answer, you can register here: it’s free and open to all.
See you tomorrow!

Book 29: “New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color” edited by #NisiShawl.
Read this after learning a Mastodon mutual is in it. Tend to have a hard time with short story collections, but this one slowly grew on me. I loved the author bios and having a better sense of what informed their pieces, especially as POC authors in this genre. “New Suns” makes up for some of its less successful parts by gathering these voices together into a greater whole.
