The moderator for this week is Trina!
Moderator bio:

She currently leads a group of poetry readers at the Senior Studies Institute in Portland and participates in the Ars Poetica community.
Some days I believe that every poem I write is in defiance of the silences that Tillie Olsen explored. Some days I am filled with the ego Richard Hugo described as "the next thing you put down belongs not for reasons of logic, good sense, or narrative development, but because you put it there."
