But microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

@orange_girl We had her give a workshop to our writing group just two days before she won the Pulitzer Prize.
Erin Hanson is a young Australian poet with some truly impressive work. She has several short anthologies out, complete with her own quirky artwork. She is by far my favorite even when compared to the classics.
