Support Black Poets
These past few months have been difficult even for those of us who haven't been sick or lost loved ones or been laid off, and on top of the coronavirus pandemic there have been a spate of tragic killings of Black people by police, as well as other racist incidents like the confrontation in Central …
Books I Lived with in 2019

National Poetry Month

When I was an undergraduate, one of my English professors challenged all the students in my class to think of just five living poets (published, please- not your friend who has a Tumblr). I was surprised but not …
My Summer Reads
I love that it's summer. Seriously. Laramie is gorgeous right now - colorful, sunny, lush, and comfortable. The highs in the summer here reach the highs 70's, low 80's (Fahrenheit, duh), which is room temperature in the South. If that doesn't make you want to come visit us, I don't know what will! I have a …
