Thank you to Mark Montgomery and Richard Bower for inviting me to be this fall’s Visiting Writer at Cayuga College, a tradition going back more than 30 years and including the likes of writers like George Saunders and Robert Bly. I had a blast reading my poems for the students, responding to their thoughtful questions, sharing a craft essay, talking about publishing, and doing some writing together. Such a full and inspiring experience. Thank you most of all to the students of Cayuga Community College, at both the Auburn and the Fulton Campuses. Your smiles and generosity warmed my way through this early winter deep freeze!
