  I disappeared from Fictionaut for a while but I'm back and I want to say hello again to everyone and to thank all of the people who commented so diligently and supportively on my terrible, angst-ridden writing all throughout high school in this space.

  I'm finishing up my second year of college now in St Louis as a Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies major and a writing minor. They don't offer a writing major here. Poetry and photography are my main creative outlets these days.

  Sharon Olds, Ellen Bass, Mary Oliver and Dana Levin's work has become a sort of religion to me.

  Also, I need to talk to more writers. I need people to read my drafts and share their reactions and suggestions for them. I would like to do this for other people too. I know that is what this site is for but I'm interested in finding some people to work with on a more personal, consistent level. If you want to introduce yourself, please message me or email me at kaitmauro@gmail.com or hell, I wouldn't mind if you called 412 225 9050.

  Hello again, old friends.

  Kait, your presence has been missed around these parts! Also, I am so lucky to be taking a workshop with Ellen Bass this spring, she is one of my favorite poets, too!

  Just know this family is always here for you.

  Darryl, I am going to take you up on that!

  Robert, I am so jealous of you! Please tell me all about it.

  Kait, it's called Truth and Beauty and is outside of Washington, D.C. the week of 5/29- 6/3. Not only do I get to bask in the wonder of Ellen Bass, but also Dorianne Laux, and Marie Howe. Truly, I can die now!!!!

  Kait, welcome back. I have been enjoying your pieces very much--the time away gave you time to write ;^) I also throw myself prostate at the feet of Sharon Olds and Mary Oliver. Peace...
