Sorry, I'll try this again. Since we're all catching up here. I thought I'd share a poem published in Salamander last August. 🙏💕 "What the Earth Knows" salamandermag.org/what-the-ear...

Bernadette Mayer, my god your soul still lives.

I'm looking for a comprehensive list of writing residencies, perhaps one that's on Google Drive that's updated on the regular? Let me know if you know of one--if not, maybe boost this post to find someone who does? Thanks, friends!
