A tiny talk; two short spring poems

For those of y'all in Chicago, I'm one of 20 people answering the question "What did you see?" in two minutes for 20x2 at GMan next Sunday evening, April 2. 20x2 has always been a lively and thoughtful event when I've been before. I'd be glad to see you there.

For those of us in the northern hemisphere, I also want to offer up two early-spring poems I like for this week of the solstice and the new moon:

"Now, When the Waters are Pressing Mightily" by Yehuda Amichai

"Thank You" by Ross Gay

Enjoy them at your leisure. I hope the longer days are warming you, and that you're finding the breath to sing the small song of spring as the poem says.

Yours,

Erin
