I remember this day well and how my heart broke for you, and how moved I was at your vulnerability and willingness to share your grief with us, your students. I also remember fondly "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" - I had never read a poem as closely as I read this one, and I still remember how profoundly it impacted me. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. Thanks, once again, for sharing your heart.

The idea of “cringe is a form of empathy” is very interesting and is a concept I had never considered. But it makes sense now that I think about it! Beautiful piece Dr. Harris! 👏
