...After two sittings, now our Lady State
To end her picture does the third time wait.

retreats to the cave of a solitary boy in a thriving
metropolis where no one remembers the original story

at a small college in the Pacific Northwest
and attending the annual convention
of writing instructors in St. Louis
and railing against tenure,
saying tenure
