Just got this note back from curator May-lee Chai:

AWESOME poem, Frances!

Love how you explore the search for the beloved, the need for prickly armor, and yes, yes, yes, you even managed to bring in the Boston terror suspects and their shifting media spotlight.

You've nailed the underCurrents with this one. Can't wait to hear you read it!

Hope to see y'all there!
