So grateful to @mayacpopa.bsky.social for the world she nurtures, the wonder (and hope) to which she commits language and being, and her relationship to poetry as life. ❀️

Please spread the word, friends.

I really hope this scholarship reaches and serves writers who would not otherwise have access to instruction and community.

A poem from my next book about visiting the South during the early days of the war in Ukraine. I'd hoped to capture that uncanny sense of pervasive ongoing violence that still announces itself amid beauty.
