Follow up: talked to the DGS this morning. I am between a rock and a hard place. When I asked about finding just any warm body to fill the seat, we went through everyone in the dept, and he said, “no. that is the only person who makes sense and fits. We need this person” 😭

So 4/5 of my diss committee members are ready to roll for my prospectus defense. I am 24 hours from having to change the date for a second time because I’ve been ghosted by an in-department committee member. I am embarrassed. I am having a melt down.

Poetry at the Super Bowl is a feat for art & our country, because it means we’re thinking imaginatively about human connection even when we feel siloed. I’ll honor 3 heroes who exemplify the best of this effort. Here’s to them, to poetry, & to a #SuperBowl like no other 💛

If you told me back in 2011 that in 2021 i would be looking at newspapers from the 1920s & 30s for articles about cattle while trying to stay well in a global pandemic that has been going on for a year... i would have told you to go sober up.
