My condolences on the tragic loss of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. Wishing Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette a full recovery. Political violence threatens democracy and must be condemned. My thoughts are with all affected in Minnesota.

Today marks 10 years since the Berkeley balcony collapse, which claimed seven young lives and left others with life-altering injuries. My thoughts are with their families, friends, and all those impacted on this tragic anniversary.

Trinidad and Tobago and Ireland both have rich literary traditions. I enjoyed revisiting Irish-Trinidadian Amanda Smyth's Black Rock on my way to the islands. Looking forward to reading Claire Adamโ€™s Love Forms too!
