This poem, “The Portrait,” maps the strata of history I hit as my family released an artifact from our grasp. I’m honored that it’s part of the Slow Violence folio, curated by @sarahali.bsky.social, in West Branch.

I feel like most authors don't rly want Stephen King levels of stardom, where we can't grab a meal w/o people crying at the table. Most of us just want to support our families, afford health care, have 30 people show up to a book signing, and write books that mean something to those who need them.
