Notes on the Birth of My Daughter (& Poetry) by Sandra Simonds
On July 9th at around 9pm, I gave birth to my second child, Charlotte, at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. By the time I got to the hospital, around 6pm, I was already eight centimeters dilated. For those of you who don’t know much about childbirth, that’s pretty far along. The birth itself wen...
He was the funniest man I've ever known and so concerned with being taken seriously, which is maybe why the reaction to Dr. Fun. I remember him talking about just starting out as a teacher and that he was too funny. It got in the way of the teaching...You have done so much, David, in this respect.

Tanya Larkin on Fracking and Gregory Lawless's Poems
