"Word-work is sublime... because it is generative; it makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference-the way in which we are like no other life. ... That may be the measure of our lives." --Toni Morrison "Word-Work" guides Writers Resist 2020. @writeRdemocracy

I'm getting ready for a little respite from the news. Going to a #demonstration later today, and joining #WritersResist. Got to do something other than watch everything going down in flames.
