I’m going to read a poem a day out of Matthew Stewart’s collection Whatever You Do, Just Don’t. Mainly because as a parent with kids who are no longer little The Last Carry, spoke to me, and because I’ve been saying forever that I ought to read more poetry. Follow along or join me if you like.

We could try to find a way, @ellekeboehmer.bsky.social! All contingent on the ACLA accepting the seminar, etc. Also, would love to do an online event on Southern Imagining. I think you visited my old department (invited by Felicity Hand) in Barcelona a year after I left to get my PhD in the US.
