Happy Birthday, Patricia! Another year wiser and still crafting verses sharper than ever. From "Love in the Time of Anthrax" to your brilliant explorations of life's synchronicities, you've shown us poetry can be both profound and playfully contagious—though thankfully less hazardous than anthrax itself!Your words have graced pages from The Atlantic Monthly to American Poetry Review, proving that great poetry never goes out of style. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your poems have brought readers everywhere—and may inspiration strike often (but gently). Here's to another year filled with laughter, creativity, and poetic mischief!
