2022: A Reporter's Notebook of the Year Gone By

Though much of my year was wrapped up in working on my new book, I did publish a few articles that I thought were worthwhile during the last 12 months. 

My Articles

In Latin America, Backers of Leftist Dictatorships Look the Other Way for Newlines Magazine (12 January 2022)

Restoring Glory to a Baltimore Neighborhood for Newlines Magazine (29 March 2022)

Freedom Soup and the Liberation of Haiti for Newlines Magazine (31 May 2022)

Haiti Is At War for Ozy (14 August 2022)

Interviews 

Former Haitian PM sanctioned by Canada denies wrongdoing in The Globe and Mail (30 November 2022)

What is causing the energy crisis in Puerto Rico? on TRT (27 September 2022)

Michael Deibert Speaking on the Anniversary of Assassination of Haiti's Jovenel Moïse on Al Jazeera (7 July 2022)

In 2023, it will be a new year and a new book, this one examining the tenure of the great U.S. abolitionist Frederick Douglass as U.S. ambassador to Haiti and the tangled regional politics of the Caribbean in the late 19th century.

May the year 2023 leave you all feeling loved and appreciated. As the sun sets on 2022, I think the words of Pablo Neruda are apt for this moment.

Y una a una las noches 

entre nuestras ciudades separadas 

se agregan a la noche que nos une  

(And one by one the nights 

between our separated cities 

are joined to the night that unites us)

Con mucho amor.
