1) 7 years ago, @rgay was the visiting writer in my PhD in CW program. I felt out of place there, as I& #39;d actually been waitlisted, then let in on a Hail Mary after someone else dropped out. I was also very freshly divorced from an abusive man and raising a kid by myself.
2) The night of Roxane& #39;s reading, Dinty ( @brevitymag ) took me aside and said, "At dinner, Roxane said & #39;That Kelly can really write!& #39;" My self-esteem was so low at the time that I assumed he was talking about the other Kelly in the program.
3) I had a conference with Roxane about my very, very rough essay at the time, and she gave me some critical feedback and told me to send it to her when I was finished. I did, and she published it. https://pankmagazine.com/piece/sharp-point-middle/">https://pankmagazine.com/piece/sha...
