Dr. Kate Polak Publishes Poems in Clade Song and Sheila-Na-Gi

Congratulations to Dr. Kate Polak on publication of three new poems. "Elegy for an Insane Devotion" and "Bats" were published in Clade Song, and "Serving Suggestion" was published by Sheila-Na-Gig. 

An exerpt from "Bats":

Called my cousin up—a blare of classic rock
she told me “Hang on. I have to turn this radio
down—we got bats in the walls and we’re trying to drive them back to the attic where they

belong.” The echolocation making the house feel more haunted than it already was by their dead cats coiling between my ankles hours before dawn, anxious replications of life already lived.  [ . . . ]
