The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

From one queer poet to another, may she rest in peace. 🕯️🌹
Also, may her family heal from this traumatic moment and be given justice and peace, and may her murderer be thrown under the jail for eternity.
