Had a blast at this spring’s double header: AWP2025 and The Oxford Conference for the Book. Read with some pretty remarkable folks from a great new eco-poetry anthology, met up with friends, and of course ate like an all-star! Heading home….

I can never wrap a gift without thinking of my mother, who was a pro. She learned how to wrap by observing carefully the gift wrappers at the JCPenney the next town over. Holidays were important to our immigrant mother, who always strove to get them right. Merry Christmas Eve! 🎄
