Thekla Altmann is a queer poet who grew up in Communist East Germany and spent their youth in a unified Europe. They live in rural Canada.
I'm excited and grateful to have been invited to read some of my poetry at the Pathways to Safety conference tomorrow. An excerpt of the full collection will go to the conference participants as a booklet. I couldn't think of a better audience for those poems!

Birds circling above
We are just as free as you
In this parking lot

I pick up Pad Thai
Flavours from so far away
Domesticated

I keep functioning
In a terrifying world
It's all I can do
