Novel in form of journal and poetry-tragic and joyful. No surprise that Herrera is our Poet Laureate.

Had the pleasure of participating in a workshop led by Juan Felipe Herrera, teacher & US Poet Laureate, today! He focused on the movement & physicality of poetry. (This is me consciously not fangirling.)
