What are you working on?
I’m always working on a lot of things at once. I have two full poetry manuscripts I’m constantly rearranging, a new chapbook that delves into Dante’s
Divine Comedy a bit, signing up for or applying to be a featured poet at various gigs, and in general writing poems. I have a memoir that’s on submission as well –
The Right to Live: A Memoir of Abortion. So I’m also spending some time editing that.
