This debut is almost 30 years in the making & all the emotions are competing right now, with gratitude bubbling to the top.
Thank you to all my friends, family members, students, teachers, colleagues, & journal editors (& @FLPress) who helped make this possible. ✌🏼
Annie is one of the most energetic & positive people I know—a huge cheerleader for those close to her: she works at 100%, soaks up life at 100%, & loves at 100%. And I feel like she’s been like that since the February 2000 doctor’s appointment, when we first heard her heartbeat.
“Nine Weeks In” is the second-oldest poem in my forthcoming book, And & And from @FLPress. The poem was written in February 2000, once we found out Bridget was pregnant with Annie, who would then arrive that September. Pre-order here:
