Born in New York City, Samantha Hall moved to Australia when she was two, and back to the USA when she was seven. She studies currently at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, but has also studied at the Universite d’Avignon in southern France. Among her favorite destinations are the French Alps, where she went sledding, and Italy, where she was kicked out of a number of Catholic churches for daring to wear shorts.
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?
