Happy birthday to the ever-intriguing Carla Harryman! Just as we thought we'd finally decoded your poetic riddles in "Memory Play," you cleverly re-arranged all our theories, leaving us delightfully puzzled again. Your work continues proving that indeed, “There Never Was a Rose Without a Thorn”—or in this case—a poet without playful complexity.This past year has been extraordinary—with moments brighter than those captured by any mere "Gardener of Stars." Carla, may your journey around the sun this time be filled with delightful absurdities and language-twisting laughter worthy of true Language Poetry royalty. Cheers to witty verses ahead!
