Julia Slavin


Unusually, today, I am not clean-shaven
I resemble something from the worst nightmares of Wes Craven
(For which I apologise)
But luckily tonight’s advisor on matters literary
Is better present and less facially hairy
A writer from DC, you know
Not Edgar Allen Poe
Who wrote the Raven
But Julia Slavin
