Before midnight struck and 2026 arrived, these moments captured the magic—champagne toasts, glittering lights, and faces filled with hope.

Here’s to the memories we made and the stories yet to be written in the year ahead. ✨🥂

✨ Wandering through a wonderland of light at Lincoln Park Zoo. It has become a tradition. This was year 4!

From animal sculptures to pathways draped in lights, I love how the lights transform the familiar into something extraordinary. Peace and love to all, and to all a good night (after one more stroll through the glow)! 🎄

Join us for an evening of literary voices at Mercy Street Readings this Wednesday, November 12th. We’re honored to host five distinctive writers—Peter LaBerge, Cynthia Gallaher, Steven Espada Dawson, Omar Barcena, and Jan Beatty—each bringing their unique perspective to the page and the stage.

Whether you join us at 4pm Pacific, 6pm Central, or 7pm Eastern, you’ll experience the power of writing across genres and sensibilities. These readings offer a rare opportunity to hear established and emerging voices in conversation with one another and with you.

Register to reserve your place in this literary gathering.

Always grateful to editors for taking a chance on my poems. Here’s a poem from the new manuscript I’m working on.

Thanks to Alejandro Lucero and Dora Malech for their guidance and the editorial team for their work on an amazing issue of The Hopkins Review with a John Waters print of Divine on the cover!

Opening night at the Goodman Theatre for “Ashland Avenue.” There’s something magical about witnessing new work come to life on stage. The energy in the Albert Theatre tonight was electric, and this production promises to be a memorable addition to the Goodman’s centennial season.

Nothing quite compares to that collective intake of breath when the curtain rises and a story begins to unfold. Here’s to the power of live theater and the stories that bring us together

2025 - Week 1

Seven days, seven worlds! I started the Sealey Challenge with this intense lineup of voices—from Cindy Veach’s exceptional ‘Monster Galaxy’ to Carrie Bennett’s navigational ‘Mouth Is Also a Compass.’

Each collection promises a daily pilgrimage through language, each cover a doorway into August’s poetic marathon. Here’s to thirty-one days of letting poetry rewire the ordinary. 📚✨

I’m watching uninterrupted coverage of the Pride Parade in Madrid on television. It makes the U.S. look so far behind in visibility, representation, and equity of the LGBTI community.

Spain is celebrating 20 years of marriage equality!

We must have human rights for all people.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
