Viewing: Poetry - View all posts

Iowa Music Awards! 

Things have been so crazy lately that I haven't been able to really pay attention to social media.  But I did have a little time to check in this afternoon, and at the top of my inbox was my friend Jesse Cotton, congratulating me on winning “Poet of the Year.”  This is easily one of my favorite surprises ever.
