Walking out of 2024, and running into 2025 trying to follow my own imperative. Thanks you to Poetry Foundation and to everyone who shared, listened, read, congratulated these poems of mine in the DEC issue. Thank you for adding substance to the dream.

I am geeking. I am so humbled and grateful and beside myself that THE OPPOSITE OF CRUELTY made this list from the New York Public Library. All thanks to Blair to Robin Hollamon Miura and Arielle Hebert and the whole editorial staff nypl.org/books-more/rec…
