It’s official: my book interview will air on NPR this afternoon during All Things Considered 5 EST/4 Central. Right now it’s scheduled in the last 15 minutes of the show. The exact timing might shift. I’m so curious to hear what from our 30 minute interview ends up in there.

My new book “Fierce Delight: Poems of Early Motherhood” opens with a quote from a Grace Paley poem that my mom once gave me: “I wanted to explain tiredness is Expected it is even appropriate At the end of the day.” We do a lot. My hope for this #MothersDay is a nap. #poetry

“Go, Dog, Go” never leaves you once you have read it a zillion times. I look outside at this spring day and I think, “a blue bird in a white tree. A red bird under the tree.” #kidlit #spring #parenting
