Wisconsin Poet Laureate (2019-2020), 2021 UWM-Waukesha Field Station artist/scholar in residence. 5 books of poetry, gardener, social justice advocate.
from my pre-11/5 poem re: early voting:
"One person goes to fetch a folding chair
for the pregnant woman who’s likely near
her due date. Though tired, she’s cheerful, hoping
not much longer until delivering
baby & being delivered good news
about the election of she we choose."
Nothing prevents the networks from running a fact checking scroll on the side of the screen while Trump is speaking.
We know what the lies are going to be. Fact checking graphics can be ready to go before he speaks.

"Relatively benign phrases such as “racially insensitive” to describe such patently bigoted comments serve only to normalize Trump."
I am glad the RNC is coming to Milwaukee. I have personally advocated with a bipartisan group to get extra funding for security for this convention.
So it is a slap in the face to have my beloved city described as anything other than welcoming.

Whatever you're working on, just love the shit out of it. That's it. That's the secret. You don't have to enjoy it all the time. You might have no idea what it even is. Doesn't matter! Just love that little beast. Love it. Give it what you got, and you will be just fine.
Many thanks to Jim Higgins, arts and book editor at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, for including my new book, Restoring Prairie, in his new list of books he recommends. https://t.co/wb1KnH2Bi6
