Wow, the desert is bringing out something great in you, Kristen!
Most of all, I’m happy for you. You seem to have found – though of course I can’t know for sure – your artistic home. And why not? When you live in a place where pomegranates grow and the sandstone knows your name, those are always good signs. If everyone around me were writing poems like you, the world would definitely be cooler.
Congrats on all your successes lately! (Including your non-published ones. Because you're right: so what.)
