D. Eric Maikranz rather hopes, clichés be damned, that good things come to him in threes.
“I’m excited for as many people as possible to see this movie,” said the Denver author, 54, of “Infinite,” a new film based on his novel, “The Reincarnationist Papers.” “Seeing the movie delayed twice now has been a bit disappointing, but my publisher (Blackstone) said, ‘We’re not pushing the book launch.’ ”

Poetry is a powerful form of protest. From the women’s suffrage and environmental movements to civil rights and Black Lives Matter, poetry has been a rallying cry for justice that electrifies and unites crowds. For hundreds of years, poets have wielded language to give a voice to the oppressed, speak truth to power and demand social change.
At the University of Colorado Boulder, where activism flourishes, the protest poetry scene is likewise alive and vibrant.

In March of 2021, Malloy won the Center for Student Involvement’s annual Poetry Slam, the biggest poetry event on campus.

The post titled “White supremacy is the root of all race-related violence in the US,” was written by Jennifer Ho, a professor of Asian American Studies at the University of Colorado – Boulder. Not surprisingly, Ho identifies herself as a professor of Critical Race Theory on her private Twitter profile.
As the current president of the Association for Asian American Studies and as an ethnic studies and critical race studies professor who specializes in Asian American culture, I wanted to address the climate of anti-Asian racism I was seeing at the start of the pandemic. So in April 2020, I created a PowerPoint slide deck about anti-Asian racism that my employer, the University of Colorado Boulder, turned into a website. That led to approximately 50 interviews,
