Tiant cheered by spirit of Munson and sound of Frankie Valli at NY State Baseball Hall of Fame
In the immortal words of Frankie Valli, Oh What a Night. This weekend I was bothered at the fact that my dear pal Frankie Valli had canceled his trip to New York due to an illness. However his longtime assistant Alan informed me that Frankie was doing just fine and would be back on the […]
4 Native American Authors to Read this November
It’s November, which means it’s Native American Heritage Month! To celebrate the voices and experiences of Native Americans from various nations across the country, I would like to highlight four distinguished Native American authors who’ve been recognized by the literary world as nothing short of masters of their craft.
Movies based on books that are worth watching
Many movies have been made that are based on books. There aren’t many good book-to-film adaptations.
That’s not a criticism of Hollywood; it can be difficult to condense the plot and character development of a novel into a few hours of fun. Because of this, the best book-to-film adaptations frequently resemble a companion piece rather than an accurate telling of a bestseller. Some adapt stories in new ways or include brand-new scenes to appeal to a contemporary audience, like the 2019 Little Women movie. Others profit from Hollywood’s glitz and glamour. For instance, the soundtrack to the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movie on Netflix enhances the romance in the movie.
Nasty Nestor, Lou Gehrig, Coop, and a girl named Maria

Why Memoirs Matter
I am not someone who is normally excited by the thought of sitting down and reading a book, but that statement always seems to change when I am handed a memoir. This is because memoirs are more than just- stories- they’re true stories. Those who read memoirs, will walk away with an expanded knowledge of what it means to be a human.
CASTLE WALLS
I built these walls up for a reason. I built them for you—for only you— Because you’re the only one who could ever get inside. You are the only one who could sneak right past the guards. You are the only one who could make the kingdom of my heart fall. And it has… Fallen […]
Franny Choi’s Latest Poetry Finds Hope For the Future
Poet Franny Choi believes that marginalized people have already experienced the apocalypse. In her latest poetry collection, she explores what it’s like to live in this never-ending dystopia. The title of the new collection is The World Keeps Ending, and The World Goes On, and it feels pretty spot on for what is happening currently in our society. These poems uniquely feature past, present, and future world-endings. Choi writes directly and indirectly about how the world has already ended, the apocalypse has already happened, and survival is happening too.
