a quarter of a century...

between this conference presentation (MLA, 2000)

and my most recent (NWSA, 2025)

* Feroza, who is beaming at me in the first picture, is one of the editors of the poetry anthology that came out last year.

** I believe Amma took the first photo... I found it in her stash anyway.

From young, earnest ingenue to relaxed, confident expert. Beautiful in both.

What a fun comparison!

Nice parallel images. We could have run into each other at that MLA. I was pregnant with Noah and happy about that, but bummed about not having any job interviews. I still went, though, because it was in DC. Also, I was on stand-by to present if someone dropped off a specific panel, but no one did.

I would have been miserable as a lawyer. I had to do lawyer-like things today in my role as a CASA and also in my role as a Title IX advisor...
