it's that time again! carrie murphy & i have curated another month of poetry at 30 x Lace for your reading pleasure. this year we will be posting several poetry "chain letters," where we ask a poet for a poem and the name of a poet they'd like to "tag" and so on and so forth. we kicked off with christine shan shan hou and continue today with krystal languell. come back everyday for more poems & poets!
