Thank you for this interview with this talented and lovely young woman.  When she read the part of her poem about the bench warmer being thrown back in the game I laughed so hard I nearly crached my car.  When I shared that part with my 91-year-old mother, she cracked up.  Most of us aren't good at this love thing.  Instead of just focusing on the lonliness and heartbreak the way blues ballads do, it's refreshing to look at the absurdly entertaining aspects of romance and love.
