I woke up today remembering the Bread Loaf hay ride - it was like being in an MMA fight with a tractor. Most vicious hay ride I've ever been on, and the most fun, too.

Delighted to announce that my poem "Swing" is in the current issue of MER (Vol. 23). You can hear me read it in their first issue launch reading, recorded here: youtu.be/1W05WnyO4Ec?...
Such a great afternoon of poetry and prose! I was blown away by all the amazing work. (I'm about 15 min in FYI).
