Hi everyone. I hope you're getting by.

This week I'm finishing echolalia echolalia by Jane Shi. I'm going to focus on this book for this week, but if you want to share something, feel free to share it in the the signal group chat.

Our next book will be Tip of the Spear by Orisanmi Burton. I'm expecting that we'll start February 16, so please try to place an order soon.

If you want to consolidate orders to save money on shipping from Open Poetry, the next book after Tip of the Spear will be Theory of Water by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson.

If you can't buy from the bookstore, please consider making a donation directly to one of the Sameer Project's campaigns, or consider sharing a fundraiser with friends. If you can't do any of that, consider sharing the reading group with some friends; if some of them can buy the book from Open Books, or even make direct donations to The Sameer Project, then that would help enormously.

my reading plan

I'll try to post some reflections later this week, and on Saturday at 12pm ET we'll get on video chat¹ and talk about whatever pieces we've all read.

(You don't seem to be signed up; you should consider signing up to get these in your inbox.)

I think that's everything for now. I'll have some reflections to share later this week, and we can chat on Saturday (or on signal). If you have any questions, comments, future book suggestions, or anything else, please let me know.

Please take care of one another; hopefully we'll talk on Saturday.
