A body is found at the mile mark. Still Still —from "Girls Are Coming Out of the Water," Volume 61, Issue 4 (Winter 2020) Tell us about one of the first pieces you wrote. The first poem I remember writing was titled “Swimming Underwater”, and it was a concrete poem in the shape of a whirlpool. I must have been no older than 10 or so, and can’t remember anything else about it, nor did I really begin to seriously engage with poetry until perhaps 10 years later, aside from some awful melodramatic pieces in high school I believe my husband is thankfully the only one to ever have read. But apparently I’ve been obsessed with water for quite some time.
