Claudia Rankine's project, Open Letter on Race and the Imagination, went live yesterday. Brava to her for bringing the conversation on race to the next level. I'm looking forward to reading all of the letters, poems, and submissions, and maybe jump-start my own writing on the subject.

If you haven't picked up the latest issue of O magazine, check out the first-ever poetry edition (about time!). Congrats to three of my favorite poets Aracelis Girmay, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, Camille Rankine for appearing in one of their fashion spreads.
