Shocked and humbled for this essay to be listed as notable in the 2025 Best American Essays. Thank you, again, @themassreview.bsky.social for publishing this piece, and for your editors on the back-and-forth to make this essay the best possible version of itself.
I’m honored to have my first published lyric essay in The Massachusetts Review. I’m so glad this piece finally found a home. Check it out with the rest of this stunning issue!
