I want to extend my sincerest thanks to PEN America for offering me a poet’s COVID-19 relief grant.
In late March, I found out that the 6-month contract job I had lined up for the rest of the year (May-Dec) was no more due to COVID. PEN helped immediately with relief, and offered a poet a chance to weigh in on the current crisis by creating art. I’m seeking publishers for my new collection, Between Plague & Kleptocracy: Invented Poetic Creations & Conversations of Seva & Bill.
