I miss your shiny-happy self and your pretty cool husband. Have fun workshopping and hanging out with all those great writers!

Thanks Suzanne! And David, yes, I’ve been thinking about that too, about why we are drawn to certain subject matter (sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes not so much.) Another poet-friend was asking about why her poetry (and mine) seemed to be so much about our edges, less about the shiny-happy parts of us that most people would observe if they met us. No answers as of yet, but I have guesses…

"my poetry tends to be oriented around other, weirder subject matter"

This kicks an interesting thought: that our poetry might not represent our whole selves, that it might be one part of us poking through, or we might select parts of ourselves to emphasize through poetry. But H11A anyway.

Good luck at the conference. I have a feeling Kim Addonizio is an intense and helpful teacher, and the rest of that group sounds awesome.
