Mostly to teaching. But I also defended my PhD dissertation and graduated, sent a full-length book manuscript to several publishers, and published a new poem. (Thank you, Slippery Elm!) Granted, I’ve gotten very little sleep since August. (I do not recommend this pace to anyone.)

New Years resolutions? I usually abstain, but this new year calls for a purposeful recalibration. For 2025: More time for art and art-making. More time for my people and my pup. More time for cooking. More time for deep and meaningful conversations. More sleep! Wishing you all the same.
