'Catching' that rare air

A native of Bulgaria, she holds an MFA in Writing from Spalding University in Louisville.  For a look at her interesting poetic style, here’s her short 2008 poem "The Most."

Welcome,
Last Resort.

We meet at last,
Plan Z.

I’ve heard a lot about you,
Worst Case Scenario.

I look forward to
working with you,
When-all-else-fails.

It’s going to be you and I now.
Do you feel lucky to end up with me?
Hey, it’s okay.

After the initial shock
wears off,
you too,
will try to make
the most of me.
