ahh we’re nearing the end of national poetry month & i’m the poet of the week over on ONLY POEMS!!!
i’ve got SEVEN new poems in ONLY POEMS—here’s one of them, “Corresponding with the Heterosexuals” (an activity i often find funny but sometimes not so fun)
The young person whose poster this is has come to many protests since October and watching the names on her poster grow every time I see her is a punch in the gut. I cannot imagine the pain she must feel and yet on NU’s encampment I saw her actively leading things despite it all.
