My selection for our reading

Hi, lovely poets. I hope everyone's holiday has been restful, peaceful, productive (or not) and everything you wanted it to be. For our World Ground reading I am going to read from Wind Shifts. I really connected with Brenda Cardenas' work and I would like to read Our Language on pg 59. I will partner that with one of my own poems called Carnal which is also about language and non-verbal communication between lovers.

Bio: Writing sincerely, from reckless places. 

 See you all tomorrow.
