It was a thrill to do CITY LIGHTS LIVE!: a conversation about close reading with Yael Segalovitz and my co-editor on Close Reading for the 21C, @johannawinant.bsky.social moderated by @samantharhill.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehZ0...

Poet Mosab Abu Toha dressed in a black shirt and brown blazer stands smiling in front of a bookcase gazing into the camera. Tweet via CityLightsBooks: Poet Mosab Abu Toha is in grave danger, as is everyone in Gaza. We are offering his book as a free digital download as a gesture of love, a tribute to our dear friend, and in fervent hope for peace.
