As a young person, I began as a profoundly apolitical writer, but as I grew, I began to do what all poets do: I began to describe the world around me.

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

Thrilled to share my new poem out today in @ekphrasticrev inspired by Gustav Klimt’s painting “Garden Path with Chickens. 🐓 🪴 It explores the tension between order and wildness, following a path that both tames and tempts. https://t.co/YujOAQvjON
