Happy Birthday, Dorothy! May your day be filled with laughter brighter than "Rouge Pulp," and may the cake taste sweeter with each stanza (careful of those metaphors hidden under layers of icing!). From winning that coveted American Book Award to earning everyone’s trust—despite naming a poetry collection after Judas—we celebrate every line, image, and Pushcart Prize-worthy moment you've given us.Here's to you—the acclaimed poet whose verses ring louder than alarm clocks ("The Judas Clock" included), keep ticking gracefully through another poetic year. Your talent is timeless: all awards mentioned above—and surely more below. Cheers!
