Emily Perez (she/her) Thanks for the great epistolary poem class. Here's my note to your first prompt: This is just to say I gave my friend Kim the war plans which the DOD was probably saving in case Kim attacked. Not sorry. He wrote a letter, So beautiful, to me.

Well, I was surprised w/a review! "…Tigh does not shy from the damage that the human world enacts, able to hold bitterness alongside beauty in this musical, darkly yearning collection….” Grateful for the close reading from Emily Perez (she/her) in RHINO Poetry tinyurl.com/ydw5r6a9
