You are doing a brilliant job publicizing the book, talking about it in ways that make it irresistible even to the most reluctant. Few writers are capable of this. You are meeting the moment in the most challenging of media times. Thank goodness, because everyone needs to read this book!
That was beautifully worded. Thank you for never being afraid of doing what you truly believe. So proud of you! Your book has allowed me to view the world around me through a different lens. That is the magic of your book and your poetic words.
Debuting at #11 on the NYT bestseller list shows you have written a book people DO want to read. Thank God! So many of us want moral complexity, to see from other people's perspectives, to like people we don't agree with. I've been practicing that for much of life, and it feels wonderful to have others do the same. Congratulations, and thank you!
Well deserved! Congratulations!!!! I have enjoyed every post and every interview highlighting you and your book and particularly your humanization of the many who are marginalized. Bravo!
I was at the Town Hall Seattle event and I so appreciated the deep dive on empathy! It gave me hope for dealing with this divided nation, one person at a time.
I was there last night in Seattle! It's so good to see one of my favorite authors in real life!
Though I haven't yet pulled it together enough to buy the book, I know from listening to excerpts and reviews that it is a book that can help get us out of the present mess.
Again…like Melville…you are tuned in to the pulse quickening in America…not in fear any more…but in anticipation of something REAL.
Your voice represents ‘this time’ as the poetry about the Civil War needed to be written and read. It wasn’t easy to take such wrenching angst into the consciousness of those war weary Americans, but, it had to be done.
Here we are AGAIN…with another ‘white whale’ (NPI) questioning the actions of disrupters like ICE. Clinging to sanity and hoping for relief.
Literature is its own weapon and echo. Meeting the villains of TODAY, with the clarity you have brought…a gift.
Congratulations!!!! Yes. Let’s write ourselves out of this culture. Let’s talk ourselves out of it. Let’s hug ourselves out of it. Let’s march and protest ourselves out of it. And more than anything let’s VOTE ourselves out of it.
Congratulations! I'm in the midst of listening to my Audible copy (love your narration) and am blown away, as always, by your writing and thoughtfulness.

Thank you, Mama!
Congratulations! I suspect it will climb further up on the list! Your writing is spectacular.

Congratulations! The existence of this book gives me hope. The success of the book compounds that hope.
I'll echo the congratulations. The writing in Man in the Mirror is sharp, incisive, and deeply observant.
Hooray!!! I was so hoping for this! Congratulations! Have started Man in the Mirror. Beautiful and powerful writing.

Many well-deserved accolades, as your star RISES.
Your writing style is mesmerizing- thank you for putting your soul out into the world so the rest of us can bask in its warmth.
Your heart is in the right place. That’s what did this!! Your heart is in the right place at the right time in the right way. That’s the story here❣️

Can’t wait to read both your and Priya‘s books.
