It's 12 PM EST on this beautiful Saturday which ALSO means it's time for me to begin my live tweet of @jukejointmag's 10th issue, which was also a BLM issue! The poetry in this issue completely blew me away, and I hope that you let it blow you away too when you go

check out the issue on @jukejointmag's website! I'm bringing 13 pieces to your timeline today, but 13 incredibly talented writers. I hope you're ready!

Thank you to Dean and the whole Juke Joint team for wanting to be a part of this! It has been so awesome

to see the continued interest from mags, and to see the response from writers when I talk about their work! So let the party continue!! I'm also going to be trying something a LITTLE different with this thread. Instead of posting multiple tweets for each piece, I'm going to try

posting screenshots of my comments instead! This will cut down on the amount of tweets that pop up on your timeline, but it will also make it easier for writers to share if they choose to! So expect a little bit of change in the format!

Okay! Let's get into it!

“Loving Tallulah Bankhead” by Carrie Chappell ( @chapp010)

“Plight” by Rabiu Temidayo ( @rabiutemidayo)

“Praise for the Ancestors” by Kay-Ann Henry ( @kaypoetaa_)

“Abandoned Cars on I-40, North Carolina” by Caroline Parkman Barr ( @CarolinePBarr)

“Country-Fried Tofu and Collard Greens for Two” by Jessie Lynn McMains ( @rustbeltjessie)

“A Necessary Lie” by Kendall Dunkelberg ( @kdunkelberg)

“Road Trip 2018” by Emily Banks ( @auntaminal)

“Babygirl, Tell Me” by NaBeela Washington ( @_simplybee)

“On the Bus from Mexico City, Yung Bans Raps Dead Faces Dollar $’s All I See, Cash Rules Every F*ckin Thing Around Me and the American Part” by Alan Chazaro ( @alan_chazaro)

“Un/Belief” by Finnian Sawyer ( @finstergrrrl)

“Postcard from the Pandemic” by Pauletta Hansel

“The Riddler” by Yejin Suh

“Report All Unattended Bags or Packages” by Beth Gordon ( @bethgordonpoet)

And that will end my live tweet of @jukejointmag's stunning 10th issue! I think I like the screenshots a little better, as it's a little tighter, and also easier for people to follow the thread! I think this is how I will do it from now on!

Thank you again to Dean

and the wonderful @jukejointmag for wanting to be a part of #LitMagLiveTweets and for putting together such a stunner! (And they just released a new issue with some familiar faces like @aliner and @matt_mitchell48, so go check that out too!)

As always, thank you all for your continued love and support (and patience as I balance this work with being a student and instructor)! Signing off yet another live tweet!

But don't go TOO far! I have another one coming for you tomorrow!

BAAAAIIIII!
