Instructor Melissa Criscuolo publishes poem in Superpresent

Congratulations to Instructor Melissa Criscuolo on publication of a new poem, "Biloxi Summer, 1985" in the most recent issue of Superpresent .

An excerpt:

I could never forget the flush
of his skin under his cutoff flannel shirt,
the pink pout of his lower lip, the halo
around the hazel iris of his eyes.
We were teenagers then, with no care
for words or weather, when a storm
moved in, unexpected. [ . . . ]
