I was planning to share this quote this week in order to promote my upcoming @ButtonPoetry virtual class (called "writing to cancel the apocalypse;" info on that in my linktree), but I'm also thinking about it in broader terms.⁣ This quote has been on my mind a lot lately, in the context of white supremacist violence, misogynist violence, and violence of all kinds, seemingly without end. I've always found it useful, and hope it can be to others too. Mariame Kaba often gets credited with the specific quote "hope is a discipline," but in this interview, she talks about where she heard it, and how she carries it with her.⁣⁣⁣ This is a quote from the "afterword/liner notes" of my book, the only section in which I break the fourth wall and speak in the book as myself, not through a character.⁣
