POETRY AT ROUND TOP has been accurately described as "the best kept secret on the American poetry scene. " What an an honor and a privilege it has been to spend the last three days in retreat with such luminous poets. Thank you to the Round Top Festival Institute for publishing my poem, "Paris." I am deeply touched to see my work in concert with such exceptional poets. And special thanks to Natalie Diaz, Cornelius Eady, and Octavio Quintanilla, whose poems and insights are candles on a dark night. - GL
