Just spent a week in Gros Morne National Park reading poetry from my new selected to live (LIVE!), appropriately distanced crowds. Amazing. But having spent my social energy budget for the entirety of 2021, I will now return to my happy place (a chair in my office) and ride out the rest of the year here with you. So…. what’d I miss?
