Hi. It’s a busy time, no? The US elections are underway, and the votes will still be trickling in even after Election “Day.” The results won’t be known for some days afterward, probably; and in the meantime, the current regime will try any means to stay in power. More importantly, it’s the middle of the semester, and I have a buttload of grading to do.
So, I’m going to a once-a-week, week-in-review edition of Writing Out of Time/Poem of Our Climate for the time being. There will be posts on October 23 & 30 and November 6 & 13. I plan to go back to the normal MWF schedule on Monday Nov. 16 – to the extent that anything will go back to normal. In the meantime, check out Protect the Results. It’s a coalition of 100+ grassroots organizations, convened by Indivisible, organizing protests in the event that the election results are preempted or if Trump loses and refuses to step down peacefully. Public Citizen is also trying to prevent voter suppression. In my state, Kansas, the ACLU is training people to know their rights and inform others. Consider volunteering with or donating to one of these efforts. See you on Friday!

I'm a writer & teacher in Lawrence, Kansas who actually believes the scientists. I wrote a book of poems called Of Some Sky that seems to have something to do with all this. |
