Life updates: I'm Dr. Mason now (I defended and earned my Ph.D. in August), I'm still an adjunct but now an adjunct professor (and may ever be contingent, alas!), and our eldest daughter is in college now-- at Smith College.

If you'll be at NeMLA in Pittsburgh this weekend, I am a special events speaker this year and will be giving a Mad feminist poetry reading on Saturday night at 7 PM. I'd love to see you there.

“Here’s flowers for you;
Hot lavender, mints, savoury, marjoram
The marigold that goes to bed wi' the sun
& with him rises weeping: these are flowers
of middle summer"☀️#Midsummer
Andrew J. Sacks retweeted
"And never, since the middle summer's spring
Met we on hill, in dale, forest or mead
By paved fountain or by rushy brook
Or in the beached margent of the sea
To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind.."

Some heavenly music, which even now I do,
To work mine end upon their senses, that
This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff..”

Burn'd on the water: the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them..”🌬️
