The Margins

Some ideas refuse to stay in the margins. 

This is a literary home for poetry, essays, and conversations that make the invisible visible, the unheard heard, and the ordinary impossible to overlook.

The books that reshaped how I think, teach, write, and move through the world—and why they've stayed with me.
