Many Gendered Mothers Project
If you’ve been following Betsy for a while, you know that she’s an inspiring and experienced mentor and editor. In a moving essay for the Many Gendered Mothers project, Elee Karljii Gardiner pays tribute to Betsy, referring to her as a “poetrymother,” she describes what it was like to be mentored by Betsy: “She taught me a problem should be written into rather than ignored.”
Many Gendered Mothers is an online “project on literary influence featuring short essays by writers (of any/all genders) on the women, femme, trans, and non-binary writers who have influenced them, as a direct or indirect literary forebear.” Go to their website to read Elee’s essay.
