On my birthday yesterday, one of my very favorite journals, Colorado Review, accepted my two poems: “Night but Unlike Night” & “Peel the Black Walnut Bark like Small Fists in our Fists.” What a treat! CR has published two of my poems before, as well as a creative nonfiction essay, and it’s a journal I hold close to my heart. Thank you Matthew Cooperman and everyone at CR! These two poems are particular favorites of mine, and at the center of the developing manuscript of my third poetry book. I’m overjoyed they will appear in Colorado Review!
