What’s good everyone? Hope you and yours are feeling good, wherever you are.
Paperback version of THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE drops next month, and I have the honor of sharing space with my literary brother, Robert Jones Jr., at
@yuandmebooks , on July 8th at 7pm ET in Manhattan. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen and spoken with a lot of you, so if you have the time and are in town, it’d be great to have you there. RSVP link in bio.
THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE was also chosen as Tulsa, OK’s annual “One Book, One Tulsa” read. I’ll be in the city on July 18th, doing an event at Central Library at 6pm CT. If you live in Tulsa or have fam/friends in the area, please pass the word on. The more the merrier. They’re also having a series of talks about the book around the city before the one on the 18th, and you can see the slide for more details.

Including some extra shots from a recent trip to Saint-Malo, France for the Étonnants Voyageurs Festival. My editor,
@maylisdelajugie , was generous enough to interpret for me during all of our events, the signings, and just in general, and I can’t thank her enough for her extraordinary efforts. The team at
@editionsbuchetchastel is not only packed with all-stars, but they’re also just cool people to hang, eat, and laugh with.
Also gotta throw in some flicks from
@calabashfestival in Jamaica last month, which was a transformative experience, to say the least. Next festival is 2027, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you need more convincing, watch that clip of
@danez_smif holding on for their gotdamn life on that boat.
I know people often say “sending you the best” as filler, but I really am. Lotta folks here have been kind enough to send good energy my way over the years, and I’m doing the same. More reasons to smile, laugh, get outta bed, be grateful, feel accomplished, go after that dream, walk in nature, buy yourself that thing, shoot your shot and land it, eat a life-affirming meal, have the people you love tell you they love you—I wish it all and more for you.
