Two weeks ago saw the launch of my first book of poetry, and events with inimitable wordsmiths Kat Howard (at Main Point Books), Theodora Goss (at The Ivy Bookstore), Sam Miller (at Northshire Books), and Malka Older (at Adventure Bound Books)

I loved talking with these four writers so much, especially for how different each conversation was.

While social media seems to be aiming for perfection — that perfect filter, the perfect staging — poetry is so much more about connection.
