Michele Richards was an early supporter of The Paper Plant. I remember first meeting her at a reading above the old store in a space I was hoping to move into when Kimi Julian brought her and introduced us. Here is a wonderful broadside of a poem she asked me to publish. Proud to add it to the Paper Plant catalog. https://raleighrambles.com/2024/09/18/geminids-a-poem-by-michele-richards/
