A twin review of #MoldovanHotel and "Beast At Every Threshold" by Natalie Wee is in the latest issue of @arcpoetry magazine. Says @leahhorlick: "@YoDessa, you see my work more clearly than I do and write about it in ways I could only dream of—and in incredible company. 💙💜💙"

rob kindly invited me to write a poem for @SiklosiK, and who am I to refuse such a lovely request? The result features knitting, grandmothers, repetition, hair, and hopefully all the admiration I hold for Kate Siklosi.

I appreciate this article presenting how little someone had to say to be rounded up in Galloway's lawsuit. If this kind of lawsuit is accepted, it will be almost impossible for anyone (in public or private) to discuss an assault allegation.
