This week in Literary Citizen, we’re thinking about how - and to what end - novels and poetry bear witness to historical events. #DemonCopperhead is a truly great read, 10/10 recommend, but @oprahsbookclub already told you that! open.substack.com/pub/angela…

Hi @Delta & @AskAmex, loyal customer here! I called to extend companion passes expiring 1/23 but was told no. I had a baby 2/21 and haven't been able to travel with her as she wasn't vaccinated until 8/22 and can't yet wear a mask. For us Covid persists. Can you help please?

Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction. (Published 2022)

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the “embodiment of the American dream.” But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.

Somehow, despite still being able to recite "Nothing Gold Can Stay" from a seventh-grade unit on The Outsiders, I never felt like poetry was *for* me. If you've ever felt the same, today's Literary Citizen is for you. Read more at angelakboyd.substack.com/p/a…
