I have a new poem up at Plath Poetry Project!

My poem “I Bet Beavers Never Want to Live a Different Life” is included in the January Retrospective of the Plath Poetry Project. I was responding to Sylvia Plath’s poem “The Munich Mannequins,” which she wrote on January 28, 1963. My poem, written on the same day in 2018, adopts some of Plath’s structure and the word “glittering.” It’s an odd little duck, in which my friend Kathie and her dog Lily appear alongside Tonya Harding, Nancy Kerrigan, and beaver lodges.
