It was an honor and a delight to speak with Ada Calhoun today at the Miami Book Fair about ANCESTOR TROUBLE and her wonderful book ALSO A POET. So much gratitude to the Miami Book Fair and Books and Books for having us, and to friends who braved the rain. My hair did an almost '60s/'90s flip sort of thing because of the weather, which confirms that if I lived here my hair would be curly again.

Thanks to the Washington Post Book World for including ANCESTOR TROUBLE in this excellent year-end list of 2022 nonfiction books! By coincidence, Ada Calhoun and I will be doing an event together at the Miami Book Fair on Sunday, so it's fun to see our books in the header together. I am bringing ALSO A POET with me to Miami. Currently at JFK, boarding soon. #maudnewton #ancestortrouble #adacalhoun #alsoapoet #rebeccadonner #washingtonpost #bestbooksof2022
