This is me, reading and briefly commenting on Willie’s poem the day I broke Fire in the Pasture on the world.

Willie is Sally’s beau. They live and write and play music together somewhere in Colorado. And, coincidentally (or not), they’re both poets and both included in Fire in the Pasture. So I thought I’d highlight them on successive days in order to honor the connections (matrimonial and otherwise) between them.
