Teaching this in my Composition + Literature courses this semester. Can't wait to see what the students make of Hopkin's sprung rhythm, crunchy imagery, & delight in an imperfect world
This poem always lives in my head rent free

But lately I can't help but replace "spare" with "queer" & mumble it to myself as some sort of incantation, giving thanks for my rose-mole stippled arms; my plump stomach couple-coloured and brinded; my pied beauty

I can't believe I didn't update this.

I did, in fact, cry when meeting her. She was the first person to tell me what I was doing was queer AF and worth the time

And that my bookshelf was 100% an altar and that I needed to accept that, lmao
Did I cry the first time I read an article by Kay Turner? Yeah

Did I cry during her lecture on Tue? … yes

Will I cry while meeting with her on Fri? P r o b s

What's that? I'm stressed and should be reading?

Sounds like the perfect time to look at quilts and quilt patterns instead~
