Being human is a tough business. We are—as far as we know—the only species fully aware of our own mortality. So why is it so hard for us to treat one another kindly? We’re all in the same metaphorical boat. Many of the tales in my new collection are meditations on this key idea. Not an original notion, but one that we need to remember in a crass age when hypocrisy and cruelty is routinely ignored by our leaders.

"With the new year comes new #Jewish #books we’re excited about, and 2025 is promising quite the eclectic collection. From #literary #novels to #memoirs to historical #fiction to poetry to reported biographies, there’s really something for everyone on this list. We’ve loaded this to lean heavily toward the first half of the year (even including a few titles that are already available because they came out last week!), but if you’re into this collection, we’ll be sure to put together more reading lists for your enjoyment all year long."

"In October, two of distinguished presenters for our ongoing program, “#Jewish #Literary Voices: A Federation Series in Collaboration with The Jewish #Book Council,” identified a concerning issue facing Jewish #authors in the year following Oct. 7 2023 – books by Jewish #writers are not being carried by many #booksellers and their work is not being reviewed outside the Jewish press."

She lived in a #Florida that has now all but vanished. My essay provides a glimpse of her life those days, including her unique relationship with her black maid, Idella Parker (video included)

Just came across Ensemble Park, a new journal of Human+Computer Writing.

ensemblepark.com/

'Ensemble Park collects literary experiments in human-computer co-writing. Neither completely computer-generated nor absent of computational intervention, the works explore how machines may enter the literary process iteratively, and how literary artifacts may be changed by such iterations.

Each piece is accompanied by both a process note and (in the "PLUS" edition, print-only) a short interview with the author.'

Issue 1, which has just been published, includes contributions from some long-term collaborators: Mark Amerika and Joanna Zylinska, along with Malthe Stavning Erslev, John Cayley, Kavi Duvvoori, christian faubel, Ian Hatcher, Alyssa Moore, Monica Storss, kathy wu, and Hannes Bajohr.
