Delighted to have a poem sharing the pages of the latest @Colorado_Review with so many incredible poets/ writers/ heroes. Thanks so much to the eds for including my little ode/ anti-ode about a place I love & miss (filled with people I love & miss) dearly.

In case you've ever wondered what it's like to be in class with me, my peak moment in Zoom poetry workshop this fall-- Me: [types "Is loneliness a kind of emptiness?" into the chat] My professor, reading the chat: "Jess wants to know if loneliness is a kind of emptiness?"
