The letter is a tool that is used to help faculty convince their chairs to schedule their hybrid courses.

The digital humanities does not merely mean presenting texts in new ways, it means doing new types of research.

LIFE’S PROBLEMS AS A METAPHOR FOR ROADKILL

I was talking to my son and did not see
The squirrel—when I looked in the rearview
Mirror, the squirrel was running around
In circles in the middle of the road, fixed
By his flattened head to one tiny pivot:
My son called me Squirrel Killer like it was
Some kind of degree I had […]

CONSIDER THE SPARROWS

One of my friends writes
Entirely in sparrows, which is
Either good or bad depending—
Good, because Jesus suffers
Each of her poems to be numbered,
Bad, because that creep
Jesus always has to know
What she wants to say.

And crows, Tennyson in eagles,
Poe in ravens, Oscar Wilde,
Once called the countess
Of somewhere a peacock
In everything except […]

I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to cheat. This morning, I wrote four poems on the train. I was going to stockpile them up, just in case I ran out of material in the last week of April, but the way I see it, the real benefit of poetry month is not […]

IT RAINED THE WHOLE DAMN TIME

Even the trees are drunk:
It is that green here,
That wet, and as much
As you hate to admit it,
It is Pacific Northwest wet,
Wet enough so you have to call
Your brother and beg your
Brother to come and flip
The boat in your backyard over
On its gunwales before
It fills up and ruins
Your spring with […]

Red stone rain and a hate gone hunger
Force the matter until every surface

CHRIST TOOK THREE

Days because Jonah hung
Around in the great fish
For the same stinking stretch—
Precedent, tradition, standards.
Whatever you want to call it,
The way things are done usually leads
To the way things are done.
To you, it is a massive waste, a noun
Made only of vowels and exclamation
Marks, a drag line caught in the deep
Weeds, trailing a parade […]

POEM FOR POPE BENEDICT

Christ did not come out this year, stayed
Tucked in his burrow, in a nest of dryer
Fluff and crumbled communion wafers.
We were all standing around, smoking
Cigarettes, stamping our feet in the cold,
In the damp, hoping that he would show—
At least we would know if it was immediate
Judgment or two thousand more
Years of bullshit. […]

CHRIST IS A WAY TO EAT THROUGH ALWAYS

He is an unreal cheap tool that lasts
Forever, one you can use to sort
Men into plain numbers, into
Rich, aborted rhymes and petty
Crises. Christ is a title cloaked
And standing in sand and sandals,
Surrounded by upturned
Temple tables: forever repeating
Bleeding and hurt. It is an insane
Big day job, sorry and […]

Being without you is almost old
Enough to buy itself a beer.
I never thought it would make it this far
Not after those first few sleepless nights when just
About anything might have done it in–
The right apology, heartfelt promises,
A sentimental movie, manly tears.
Your mother was the only one to
Believe in it: she told all her friends and
Paraded […]

The sun lifts like the edge of a rug
The approaching day and carelessly
Sweeps the night sky away, thinking
Perhaps that no one will look

There, lost in a pile of tiny crumbs, shed
Eyelashes and fingernail clippings:
When I came back from Ontario,
You picked me up at the airport
And we drove home in […]

For it, Lora, you should

The deliberation and awkwardness behind
All those clumsy and now useless pen strokes.
