It’s a big year for me. My book comes out on August 20. Between now and then I plan to finish transcribing a pile of poems from my notebook and organize some good ones into a manuscript. It’s exciting to have concrete plans going into the year.

I am going to take my second course in my MFA program after doing well during the Fall semester. I am excited. But on my Substack (which helps fund my MFA) I will be recording all of Shakespeare’s sonnets. At least once a week. And here is the SCARY part--I will be write a heroic couplet for each sonnet. At the end of the recording project I will have a collage poem of all the couplets, which will hopefully end up as a coherent work. I hope I have the stamina for this! I am afraid it will turn out to be a hot mess 😳🔥🫣 It will all be on my Substack called The Beauty of Things. zinagomezliss.substack.com. Honestly, kinda scared. But I think it also could be fun. Will take the leap.
