EARNEST, EARNEST? (@PittPoetry) is 6 months old TODAY!

I would say it’s weird to have a book come out during a pandemic, but this is my 1st book. And I was already deeply weird.

THANKS to everyone who read my words, especially now!

"If you try to make paper dolls do anything at all
their clothes fall off, they can't stand up,
the tabs slip the slots.
. . . . . . .
Every book is a prison of sisters."

I want him to forget you, woman curlicued around
the camera, pressing time into blackberry ash, so that

the only thing he ever learns to grow is smoke.

Humbled to have read my poem “When You Are Nine” with this incredible group of writers from @mqr_tweets Winter ‘22 issue. Give it a listen—it’s a great way to spend the morning! https://t.co/kKo4tVOn5f
