Kate Schapira is the author of four full-length collections of poetry, including The Soft Place (Horse Less Press) and How We Saved the City (Stockport Flats). Her 11th chapbook, Someone Is Here, just appeared with Projective Industries, and two more collections will be out next year with Horse Less Press and Trembling Pillow. She lives in Providence, RI, where she teaches writing, co-runs the Publicly Complex Reading Series, and periodically offers Climate Anxiety Counseling.
And every life that moves, or dies, or multiplies will have an effect of some sort on the lives around it, a different effect than the one it had before.
