They may fear adventure in my world, but I inhabit theirs in multiple ways—and am them. …Queer poets especially locate…
What will they say about her ascension as the First Lady? My first impulse is fearful. Ms. Obama smartly has not let on just how smart she is. But while we wait for her next move (will she avoid Senator Clinton’s grave error and bake the damn cookies?), how will they/we speak about her? Already,…
