As always, I am honored to have a review in @rhinopoetry.bsky.social, and Janice N. Harrington's work is really compelling. As I doorknocked in Benton Harbor, Michigan during election weekend and election day, I found myself looking very differently at people's yards. rhinopoetry.org/reviews/jani...
