My stomach is in a knot just thinking about Election Day & all that's at stake.

Whether you voted or not, I hope folks find something they care deeply about & get involved in their communities however they can.

Here is my latest essay on political participation beyond and including voting for PEN America: https://pen.org/the-political-is-personal/

Sending everyone lots of strength and solidarity today and the weeks ahead.
