Been a while, y'all. It's too late unless you're nearby, but in about 45 minutes, I'll be reading at Pythagoras.

Last year at AWP I went to a talk by Toi Derricotte, who said if you write a haiku and an intention every day for a year, your life will be transformed. I decided to try this: A year later I am holding twin infants, chairing an English Department, and terrified of haiku.

It's so comforting to see so many people confessing their imposter syndrome who I know for a fact aren't. Maybe I'm not either? #AWP23 #awp2023
