  Why I Go to Yoga Class in Pajamas.

  Via Christina M. Rau on May 3

  2015 The photographs were in sepia. The instructions were simple: Breathing? I could do that. Sitting? I could do that

  Fjords Review

  John Ashbery judged the 2013 Walt Whitman Award for the Academy of American Poets and it's no wonder why he selected Chris Hosea's collection as the winner. The poems create a different way of looking at people and things

  infusing the New York School vibe of anti- and alternative-narrative throughout.

  Review of Chris Hosea's Collection on Fjords Review

  I offered one-hour yoga sessions once a week for clients in recovery.
