Thanks to Bonnie Bucqueroux from Lansing Online News for video recording the poem “we are trees” from my new collection Hope at the Center! She visited my info table for Sexual Assault Awareness Month at Lansing Community College on Monday, April 12.
Also many thanks to Leann Schaefer from LCC’s student paper The Lookout for the story “Poetry show offers sexual, domestic violence awareness” (April 12). Leann met me at the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence offices in Okemos a few weeks ago to interview Senior Program Manager Tammy Lemmer. Tammy gave us a tour of the facilities, which includes a resource center available to Michigan residents.
Hi, Melissa,
You present your poems and ideas with great authority, aplomb and courage. I’m very impressed and inspired about what to do about my own knowings. I will be holding you in the Light on Thursday.
Love, Sally
Sally, thanks for your kind words and hearty support. You are a blessing in many ways.
