April Lindner backpacked solo across Western Europe when she was 22. Since then, she has returned to Europe seven times, most recently to take part in an Ignatian Pilgrimage across northern Spain, to teach two study tours in Greece, and to research a novel partially set in Italy. April lives in Pennsylvania, and has published two poetry collections and two young adult novels.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
