Thrilled to receive my copy of the new Colorado Review with my poems “Night But Unlike Night” and “Peel the Black Walnut Bark Like Small Fists in Our Fists.” These poems mean a lot to me, and I think of them as a pair. I could not be more delighted that they found their home in CR, a journal close to my heart and which has been kind enough to publish a lyric essay of mine and two other poems before. Thank you Matthew Cooperman, Lauren Furman, Cecil Janecek, Stephanie G’Schwind, and everyone with a hand in making the always awesome Colorado Review!
