Honored to have my career-spanning essay on Ron Schreiber—undoubtedly my favorite poet—included in the newest issue of spoKe! Thank you to Mark Pawlak for asking me to be a part of this festschrift for Ron and to Kevin Gallagher for putting together this beautiful issue.

Feel very fortunate to have met Edmund White back in 2018, he was so kind. His books mean a great deal to me.
