Late post, but maybe no one uses this platform anymore?! I’ve had a v lucky application season. And just back from the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, I can say it was a productive, generative, soul-restorative time... I’m both excited and terrified for what the future holds.

If Mandy Moore’s 47 Meters Down taught us anything, it was that the real scary was the ocean, NOT the sharks.

💭 I like to travel by train. Ships are too slow and airplanes too fast (my soul can hardly catch up with my body). Writer Isabel Allende shares what she packs for a trip, how she prepares to travel and her favorite place in the world. trib.al/CuOrwfR
