Happy Birthday, Mariela! May your day be filled with poetic inspiration and fewer edits than usual. From crafting powerful verses in *Exiliana* to illuminating minds at Wayne State University—your journey has been nothing short of legendary.Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as when you co-founded the creative writing program or published another literary gem through Marick Press. Keep inspiring us all (and maybe take a break from activism today; even superheroes deserve cake). Cheers to more brilliant words, laughter-filled classrooms, and endless coffee-fueled creativity ahead—you truly make poetry look easy...almost too easy!
