The Red Lady of El Mirón. Died: about 18,700 years ago. Found in her teeth: mushroom spores.
Our weekend at the Mycelium Mysteries Women's Mushroom Retreat was MIND BLOWING. And not because we ate the magic kind. Thank you, Midwest Women's Herbal Conference, for cultivating this incredible network of goddesses, mycophiles, healers, teachers, and learners.
Below is the list of spices we used. I'll be posting my shitake soup recipes here soon!
I'm so happy this poem found a great home at SWWIM! Thank you, Catherine Esposito Prescott, for thinking of me, and especially Marisol, the world's greatest bikini waxer at Elan Salon and Day Spa: you SHOULD be President!
This was harder than Billy on the Street, and I couldn't get my buzzer to work. Thanks for having me on anyway, Kyle Flak! Keep asking the tough questions!

Crushing It | Open Letters Monthly - an Arts and Literature Review
I don't wanna brag but I'm pretty sure I got the highest score ever on the ADHD test. The best part was when Mike asked me to juggle a hatchet, a balloon full of pudding, and a hamster and I was all, "Hold my beer, Mike!" Hokay... I tanked it.
Thank you for the deep, thoughtful read, Adam Sol. I've been a big fan of How A Poem Moves since the start of the project and am so honored to be included. It was indeed Typhoon Haiyan that's referred to in the poem. In an earlier draft, it was named. Except for the internal voices, the poem's a report of what I saw on TV while I was waiting for an allergy shot.

Thanks, Adam Clay, for running such a hot shop!
I love Plume, and Daniel lawless, who is an amazing, tireless advocate for poetry. We're lucky to have him and Plume.
It's Not Your Fault
It's Not Your Fault The brass lamp in your window, warm honey heat humming in the frozen prairie February dawn when everything's a stone of cold, may have yoo-hooed at the hobo teetering on his tattooed lip of murder, but it didn't open the door. It's a lamp. It's handless.
