Love your column this morning, Nina.. from the psychedelia of tulips ( not quite here yet in Monadnock region) to your little master class on “fox fur” in Archivist Scissors.. Pinsky! Favorite Poem Project ! I remember doing that! ( And who knew— country rube that I now am— about a stack-of-books science building on the banks of the Charles— wow). Got to the end and promptly down-loaded American Mess via Libro.fm (benefits Toadstool). Going to go pick up 50 tree and shrub seedlings from the NH Forest service nursery. Costco for gardeners. Can’t wait to listen..
Kate, I love the thought of all these future shrubs and trees! And thank you for this wonderful note, and for reading the column! What did you choose for your favorite poem??
Lord only knows! But I was ( and maybe sarah Snyder too?) in his summer seminar for a week at BU when they were launching favorite poem project.. did something with it at nobles.. maybe around the Young Poets Festival that started at Groton and we hosted a few times. Sorry.. Cuisinart of memory!

I love the way you're opening up your writing here. Literary news and Nina McLaughlin poetics...a delightful combination.
Oh Rebecca, thank you! Slowly getting a little wilder with it!
