Happy Birthday, Ben Lerner! May your day be filled with more joy than a poet discovering the perfect metaphor and fewer awkward pauses than Adam Gordon navigating Madrid in "Leaving the Atocha Station." Your literary brilliance continues to inspire readers everywhere—after all, not everyone can turn existential angst into award-nominated art!From poetry that angles sharply through life's absurdities ("Angle of Yaw," anyone?) to novels that capture our collective bewilderment, you've given us plenty of reasons to celebrate. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—and perhaps another finalist nod or two. Cheers to you, Ben—may your wit remain sharper than ever!
