Gregg Chadwick The River Dreams 16"x11" oil on linen 2009 I learned tonight about the death of  W.S. Merwin. I had a chance to chat briefly with W.S. Merwin after his wonderful reading at the Hammer Museum on October 29, 2009. We spoke of elephants and mystery and nature. Inspiring memories. The poems of W. S. Merwin’s mature career were often Delphic, haunted, and bleak. They seemed to have been delivered unto him, and he transcribed them by lightning flash. https://t.co/Z4biUog5VT — The New Yorker (@NewYorker) March 17, 2019 More on W.S. Merwin: W.S.

Please learn about the real Green Book. https://t.co/9WjGP0HcYW — Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) February 25, 2019 "Every time someone's driving somebody I lose," Spike Lee backstage at #Oscars — Jessica Gelt (@jessicagelt) February 25, 2019 For anyone who may be interested in what the Green Book actually was, here is a link to more information about this act of resistance and source of love and survival for many African-Americans. It started with Victor Hugo Green. #OSCARS https://t.co/gdFp1mekub pic.twitter.com/9WkeInv2fd — Ava DuVernay (@ava) February 25, 2019 The Green Book saved lives. It made travel (slightly) easier for black people. It showed what hotels were safe, what roads we could travel, and where we were likely to die. For that to be turned into a story that "starts" with Viggo is a slap in the face. #Oscars https://t.co/9nqPpOfZHn — Krystina Arielle 🦖 (@KrystinaArielle) February 25, 2019
