Jones series, but wrote dozens of books that helped children feel seen, loved, and understood. She wrote about all kinds of childhood problems with empathy and her signature sense of fun. Join us, especially if you need a little joy this week!

This week, we celebrate the legacy of poet, children's book author, speaker, teacher and activist Nikki Giovanni who died on December 9th, 2024 at the age of 81. Giovanni's writing and her actions helped make this world a better place for Black people, Queer people, Women, and more. Her strength came forth in her written and spoken words and in the way she chose to live her life. Join us in remembering this extraordinary author and remember to think of her when you look up at the stars - or at a bat.

Happy New Year, Get Lit Listeners! We're delighted to help you ring in the new year with Ida Raue, an activist, actor, artist, poet, and director who let very little stand in her way during her fight for justice. She published a single book of poetry in her life, but her reach and influence had an impact on dozens of authors and writers around Greenwich Village and beyond. Join us for this inspiring start to 2025!
