I'm reading my first poem at city council tonight... They've scheduled me BEFORE the Land Acknowledgment, which seems to me like they're hoping to get the obligatory poetry-portion out of the way?

Rereading these brilliant, deeply human, boundary-pushing books by Kathryn Mockler and Arleen Pare because I'm teaching a course on short prose forms--in particular very fine work that blurs the genres.
