So grateful to @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social & @whaleroadreview.bsky.social for including me in the gorgeous & moving summer reading on Saturday. It was such a stunning gathering of voices, I laughed, wept, & was lifted up out of constant overwhelm into a beautiful, connected heartshape of voices.
This was a stunningly beautiful reading! I still can't believe people send us such amazing work.
