So—-a good example of someone I’d rather have read my poems. ☺️🙏🏽❤️

a bright spot for me this month—inclusion in Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day series. thank you El Norte Recuerda for your generous curation, for including this contrapuntal from a series about mothering & matrilineage 🤍

Join me 10/29 for From Tribe and Fire, a virtual event to support the students of the S.H.E. College Fund featuring Ellen Bass, Jane Hirshfield, Marie Howe, Danusha Laméris; and Jami Sieber. I moderate a discussion with the artists after the event. buff.ly/49jNGTg

Y'all.

When I tell you that I danced around my dining room when I got the email from MKDorDiggsy on ALL socials - get it? saying yes to this event, I exaggerate not.

And then when Danusha Laméris accepted his invitation to join him? More whooping. And dancing.

Come join us!

you are not alone,
the poem said,
in the dark tunnel.

—Louise Glück

Writing is a kind of revenge against circumstance too: bad luck, loss, pain. If you make something out of it, then you've no longer been bested by these events.

—Louise Glück, Rest in Poetry

In case you've been wondering what we've been up to...
You're all invited, by the way. All the details are here: thenotebookscollective.com/events/
