Poetry by post

Abstract

Inexpressible thanks go, too, to my dad, my first and best teacher of poetry, and to my mom, whose habit of quilting in the corners of her day offered, without me realizing so until years later, an education in color, pattern, and the value of the handmade. Finally, to Josh, Eliza, and Hazel-the people I had to pull myself away from to produce Poetry by Post and who gave me high-fives and hugs at every turn: thank you for your thousands of big and small kindnesses. I love you to the sun bright. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .
