Worn tree on a patch of grass overlooking a lake, overlooked by a small mountain. The montain is reflecting the sun, and the sun-mountain is reflected on the lake, creating a diagonal that touches the tree. The sky behind is blue and cloudy.

Hannah is thrilled to announce that two of her poems have been set to music by the composer Molly Joyce. "I Live in the Woods of My Words" and "Musibility" (both from her book The Kissing of Kissing) will be premiered by the soprano Mikaela Bennett, accompanied by piano and string quartet, at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, on May 6th! Tickets and more information are here.

Hannah also has three new poems in Brink's 5th issue, Reverence.

Lastly, three of Hannah's friends (Imane Boukaila, Adam Wolfond, and Chris Martin) will be presenting "Tilted Thinking, Wanting Ways, and Our Neurodiverse Future" at The Poetry Project in New York City (as well as livestreaming) on May 17th. Tickets and information are here.
