Poetry
Lester Mayers: I’ve been building anyway. Teaching, directing, writing in the margins of exhaustion, and turning rejection into rehearsal. I say yes to the long road because I believe in the work more than I believe in the no’s. I’m still looking for the publishing house that feels like home, the theater that recognizes itself inside my stories, and the studio that honors the in-between, but until then, I keep making. I keep pressing. I keep loving the work out loud.
