I’m teaching a course on prose poems this fall so I’ve set myself the goal of writing and publishing more prose poetry. So I wrote my own little version of a prose poem about how Simon and I met, and I’m so thrilled that it’s in The New York Times today. I’ve been a fan of the Modern Love column since it launched and over the years I’ve read some that have actually changed my life, including those by friends like Amy Bonnaffons, Aubrey Hirsch, and Kera Yonker. So being a part of it in a (literally) “tiny” way just such an absolute thrill.

Here it is!
