Picture of poem by Dale Marie Prizant from book Appalachian Reckoning (a response to jd vance’s Hillbilly Elegy) American Elegy is coming Just you wait— A bestseller will kill you off too I’m a hillbilly, they plum kill’t me Bulldozed my bones and valley fill with the other dead canaries When Exxon oil busts up your aquifers a red state lawyer will write a bestseller about your loose bootstraps too and shove them down your throat You’ll be paying nestlé for your muddy tap Before your book club figures out That our selenium sludge runs downstream And we are your headwaters.

My Fasnacht 2025 mask represents inner reflection of the past year that brought changes related to menopause and personal transformation. I threw the mask into the ritual fire to burn in effigy along with old man winter at the end of the festival.

Photo of woman with long wavy hair wearing a mask at Fasnacht festival. White mask features fresh-pressed orange rose petals and long greenery sprigs on one temple and dried flowers/leaves on the other. Additional features: large fuzzy purple eyebrows and mustache, feathered rainbow eyelashes;,almond-shaped eyeholes are lined with circular purple sequins, purple arched expression lines are painted on the forehead, and clownish red discs accent the cheeks. White wispy feathers line the top hairline of the mask. In the background: festival-goers standing near rustic grey gazebo decorated with traditional Swiss flags and a grey winter sky.
