On December 21, from 2-4 PM EST, I’ll be teaching a 2‑hour generative craft class diving into the underrated, luminous work of poet Laura Gilpin. We will read well beyond “The Two-Headed Calf,” discussing the work of caregiving & poetry, approaching both with deep curiosity & attention to mystery.

@mayacpopa.bsky.social , I love your poem, "They Are Building A Hospital", which I first heard on Padraig O'Tuama's podcast. 🌞

Maya C. Popa — They Are Building a Hospital
It can be hard to believe your eyes sometimes. Here, a poet sees hospitals where previously there had been picnics, and tries to bear witness.
