Hi, I’m Tarfia Faizullah, here for Poets on the Plains. Today, I’m excited to share a poem with you by Chloe Honum, a poet whose poems I’m very fond of. Chloe Honum is the author of two poetry collections, The Lantern Room and The Tulip-Flame, and a chapbook, Then Winter, all beautifully rendered, as her poems are. -
Hi, I’m Tarfia Faizullah, here for Poets on the Plains. Today, I feel a bit sheepish sharing one of my own poems, but it’s a poem that serves as a snapshot of my own life, so I’m excited to share it, and share about it. I am the author of two full length poetry collections with a third on the way, and I teach creative writing at UNT.
