Oh, what a joy to open up the BEST AMERICAN POETRY blog and find my Australian sister's awesome prose poems here. If there was something joyful and poetic that came out of the (darn) pandemic, for me it was getting to know dear Cassandra and her many talents. Her prose poems are the sexiest in town (even if that town is Brooklyn, New York rather than Aussie-town). I adore these three poems, so full of color and vigor and everything that Cassandra brings to her prose poems and life. These three poems are most assuredly representative of Cassandra's style—intelligent, humorous, literary, and, as I said, SEXY. Congrats, Cassandra. I hope everyone gets to know your work in the special way that I have ... and I'll see you later at the Lit Balm reading, where you add your inimitable hosting abilities to the best poetry event on Zoom. Love you!
