Brooklyn morning….
This essay went straight into my bones. Hauntingly beautiful and tragic.
Such an honest, brutal tribute. I’m still recovering from this essay.
Congratulations!

“Poems can break our hearts.”Stefania Heim. This reading group of the Odyssey (of pain) is one way to survive right now. #APStogether
