"From deeply embodied origins, the poet conjures the profound thin spaces between womb and shadowland, fairytale and fever dream." It was an honour to provide an endorsement for @taylorhamannlos' BETWEEN MY SPINE & THE RIVER (Ridge Books) @eastridgereview. @TopTweetTuesday
Friends, I wrote a piece on poet Laura Gilpin, who died of glioblastoma in 2006. She is best known for “The Two-Headed Calf.” With gratitude to @PoetryFound for letting me try to restore this healthcare practitioner/poet’s legacy. poetryfoundation.org/articles/17056…

I like the linguistic exuberance of this piece by Geraldine Clarkson in the latest edition of Painted, Spoken.
