Thank you @JoseHernandezDz and @FrontierPoetry for this #EditorsTalk about all things @PoetLoreMag (in which I say I don't tweet often, yet here I am, tweeting about the interview 🤭).

Loved having space to chat about some of our big new initiatives, with many more to come!

Cannot wait to read this! What a privilege to learn from Stephanie, an utterly amazing human. If you're getting a copy (and you should be), check out @Loyaltybooks or @MahoganyBooks or your local indie

The brilliance of Stephanie Grant. What a remarkable human. To say that I miss her class, is the understatement of the year. Brava 🤩 @CafeMFA

[Shira Erlichman @sheer_awe]

What might it be like? To not compare. To let honey be honey. To have the patience to know the human you're in. To pull the stinger out while whistling or weeping or whatever is true to you. No pressure. Sun of your simple self, dawning.

[CafeMFA @CafeMFA]
