Poetry Friday: Linsey Abrams

In honor of Poetry Friday and in memory of 9/11, I chose Linsey Abrams's prose poem "The New Century" as my selection today. Linsey is the founder of Global City Review and the director of the graduate writing program at City College, in New York; she also taught at Sarah Lawrence, where I took a summer seminar with her some years back.   

The poem begins,

You're welcome, Nancy. I am such a fan of Linsey's work, and admire the way she mixes the funny and the profound.
