Sometimes, great things take a little bit of work, messy fingers, and a lot of caramel and toasted coconut to get right. These Caramel Delite Donuts fall under that category. These take a bit of time and good amount of ingredients to assemble, but the end results are impressive (if I do say so myself!) and delicious. They taste like caramel delite Girl Scout cookies (or you may call them Samoas), but they're donuts so they're already better. It's the truth.
Start by whisking both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together. Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly and sand-like.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Stir in coconut almond milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until combined. Using an wooden spoon, fold wet ingredients until dry until dough comes together. Small pieces of butter will still be visual throughout the dough.
Now you have two options to get the batter into the donut pan: pastry bag or spoon. You can either spoon the batter into the pan, or cut a large 1-1 1/2 inch hole in the bottom of a pastry bag (or plastic sandwich bag) and pipe the batter around each donut. I prefer the piping method, since the batter is sticky and it's quicker.
Before baking, tap the pan on the countertop to release any air bubbles. Bake each donut for 8-10 minutes. You'll know when they're done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. After cooling 5 minutes in the pan, transfer to a wire rack with parchment paper underneath to continue to cool completely.
To build your topping, spoon a large tablespoon of caramel sauce over each donut to create a glue. Toast your coconut in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly brown. Mix toasted coconut with three or four heaping tablespoons of caramel sauce and mix together. This is where things get messy. Grabbing about a teaspoon of coconut, lightly press it around each donut until all are covered. Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and start melting your chips, starting with one minute, then adding an additional 30 seconds. Mix in 1/4 cup of coconut almond milk so mixture is very thin. Using a spoon, immediately drizzle chocolate over coconut topped donuts. Serve the same day.
**coconut almond milk can be subbed for regular almond milk, buttermilk, or regular 2% milk.
Having messy fingers is worth it. You'll impress your friends.

WHOI Provides New Details on San Jose Shipwreck Discovery
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has obtained authorization to release new details from the search for the San José shipwreck, a 62-gun, three-masted Spanish galleon ship.
WHOI obtained authorization by Maritime Archaeology Consultants (MAC), Switzerland AG, and the Colombian government.
The ship, which is often called the "holy grail of shipwrecks," went down with a treasure of gold, silver, and emeralds in 1708 during a battle with British ships in the War of Spanish Succession.
The wreck was discovered off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia, in 2015, by a team of international scientists and engineers during an expedition aboard the Colombian Navy research ship ARC Malpelo led by MAC's chief project archaeologist Roger Dooley.
"In order to ensure a successful search, we retained the services of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which has an extensive and recognized expertise in deep water exploration," said Roger Dooley. "This partnership was key to the discovery of the San Jose."
WHOI provided and operated an autonomous underwater vehicle called REMUS 6000 to survey an area off Colombia's Barú Peninsula which helped in the search of the wreck.
"The REMUS 6000 was the ideal tool for the job, since it's capable of conducting long-duration missions over wide areas," said WHOI engineer and expedition leader Mike Purcell.
The Colombian Government plans to build a museum and world-class conservation laboratory to preserve and publicly display the wreck's contents, including cannons, ceramics, and other artifacts.

Presented by: Science & the City
In Wonders of the Universe, Professor Brian Cox's latest book and the basis for his new Science series, Cox uses evidence found in the natural world to explain its underlying simplicity. His work shows us how the vast and unfathomable phenomena of deep space can be explained, and even experienced. Traveling to the deserts of Namibia, Professor Cox demonstrates how the universe will always become more disordered and, ultimately, there will be no stars, planets or galaxies left in the cosmos. He journeys to a deserted prison in Rio to explain how the chemical elements were made in the hearts of stars. He shows us how the water of the Victoria Falls in Zambia behaves like light does around a black hole. The physical laws that describe the behavior of light, gravity, time, matter and energy here on Earth are the same as those in the farthest reaches of the Universe.
Using his expert knowledge and his infectious enthusiasm, Professor Cox shows us that if we can understand the impact of these governing laws on Earth it will bring us a step closer to an understanding of our Universe.
A reception and book sale/signing will follow Professor Cox's presentation.
Brian Cox, PhD
Brian Cox is a leading particle physicist and professor at the University of Manchester, as well as a researcher on one of the most ambitious experiments on Earth, the ATLAS experiment on the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. A Royal Society research fellow, Professor Cox was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2010. He is the author of Why Does E=MC² and is well known as presenter of the television series Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe. He was also the keyboard player in the UK pop band D:Ream in the 1990s.

What $600k will buy you in different cities
by Jean-Paul Pelosi
AS PRICE gains ease in most capitals and incentives for first homeowners take hold, younger buyers are finally gaining confidence.
It also helps that investors have been dropping out of the market, seemingly less interested since the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority tightened lending rules in March.
Scan today's property ads and you'll certainly come across some better asking prices than you might have a year ago.
Director of Metropole Property Strategists, Michael Yardney says we know the first homeowner grant tends to get first-time buyers back in the mix and revised grants in NSW and Victoria from July 1 are proof of this.
For a start, the total number of loans to first home buyers rose strongly in August, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said. Additionally, the proportion of first homebuyer loans among all owner-occupier mortgages increased, seemingly helped by more first-timers in NSW and Victoria.
Yardney says many people are also taking advantage of stamp duty concessions within the grant, a handy saving they can be put toward their first deposit.
"The first deposit is the biggest stumbling block, particularly in Melbourne and Sydney, as it's disproportionately more expensive [in those cities]," says Yardney.
"So how are people doing it? They're choosing a smaller property, or many are getting help from the bank of mum and dad. They can either lend them or give them the deposit, or in some instances, get a guarantee for the loan."
Even though you'll only get an apartment for $600k, Melbourne still has surprisingly good options. This modern two bedroom unit is currently for sale in inner-city North Fitzroy.
Managing director of buyers' agency Cohen Handler, Simon Cohen says while he's not seeing that many people take up the grant as such, he has noticed that young buyers have more opportunities right now.
"The hardest market to get into if you rewind a year was the first homeowner market, but today it's the market that we're seeing the most opportunities," says Cohen. "If you know where to look and what to look for, there are far more off-market opportunities and there's far more negotiating power at auction than I've seen a good couple of years."
Cohen is also seeing people who don't have the budgets in Sydney buying in cities like Brisbane where you can get more bang for your buck.
GETTING YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR
Whether you qualify for the first homeowners grant (the eligibility threshold differs across the states) or are forced to go up in price for the home you want, the key is to research areas that meet your budget.
For example, if your budget is $600,000, you might need to venture beyond 25 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, whereas in Melbourne there are options just 12 kilometres out at that price. If you're in Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide, the chances of securing more space closer to the CBD is certainly better.
You can get a beautiful 4 bedroom sandstone home only 4km from Adelaide for $600,000.
With all this in mind, Yardney says that many first-time buyers invest first and rent where they prefer to live.
"In the last few years, many potential first homebuyers were taken out of the market because of the expense and so they became rent-investors," he says. "That doesn't stop them getting a first homeowner grant. The grant is for the first home you live in."
AROUND THE CAPITALS FOR $600K
The harbour city might be harder work but there are still good buys at the lower price end. As Cohen says, you need to know where to look. Consider this neat house at 12 Queen Street, Granville going for $630,000, which has a modern interior complimented by a patio at the rear, according to Realestate.com.au.
If you're not fussed about space, however, you can find a small apartment in the CBD for a similar price. For instance, this one-bedroom at 201/11 Alberta Street in the southern end of the city is selling for $620,000.
It's all about location in this tiny inner city Sydney apartment, which is on the market for $620,000.
Like Sydney, Melbourne's inner and middle ring houses tend to be pricier than $600,000, though you can still find a townhouse for that price in a suburb like Reservoir around 12km north of the city. This spacious house at 1/54 Cheddar Road has a price guide of $600,000 - $650,000, as per Realestate.com.au.
Melbourne also has boutique apartments for about $600,000, including this sleek two-bedroom unit at 16/140 Queens Parade in North Fitzroy selling for $580,000 to $630,000.
In Brisbane, a $600,000 budget can go even further. Take this stylish Queenslander house at 30 Victoria Street in Windsor which is selling for around $599,000, according to Realestate.com.au. It has three bedrooms and sits on 405 square metres, just 3.5 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD.
This price guide has a '5' in front of it. And it's only 3.5km from the centre of Brisbane.
Or if you're looking for something with heritage appeal then Adelaide might fit the bill, where a sandstone villa like this one at 26 Light Street, Thebarton is going for $600,000, on Realestate.com.au. It has four large bedrooms and a Victorian arch in the hallway.
Meanwhile in Victoria Park, Perth this four-bedroom house at 5A Rathay Street is selling between $565,000 - $595,000, according to Realestate.com.au. It boasts plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and isn't far from the Swan River.
Of course, there are considerably more options for $600,000 in Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory.

A wonderful post Linda. Congrats on the nomination!


In Honduras, the Micah Project staff is made up of dedicated Hondurans as well as foreign missionaries from the United States. All love bringing Christ into the boys' lives to allow Him to do miraculous transformation. A small staff in the United States provides financial and administrative support. We invite you to meet some of them.
Michael first came to Honduras to work with street kids in 1993 on a six-month internship through Wheaton College's International Studies Program (HNGR). In 1998, he moved back to make this work his life's calling. While aiding in the reconstruction effort after Hurricane Mitch ravished Honduras in October 1998, Michael began to develop a vision for the Micah Project, which opened its doors in January 2000. Michael has been executive director and group home dad at the Micah Project ever since!
Stephen Kusmer joined the Micah Project in 2011 after graduating from Wheaton College in May with a degree in Applied Health Sciences. He is originally from South Bend, Indiana. Stephen has a great heart for missions and languages and has travelled to many countries to serve with different organizations. As the coordinator of our street ministry Stephen found no organization was supporting the needs of older teen boys and young men that wanted to leave streets, trapping them in a cycle of addiction and hopelessness. Convicted that God wanted Micah to serve that population he used the old Micah House as a place for day programs for a small group in 2014 and early 2015. Plans then were made to open the Isaiah House in that location and in August 2015 the first residents moved in. Support Stephen.
Kelsey joined Micah as a missionary in October 2014 after having first visited the project in April with a team from First Presbyterian Church in Houston. She had just completed a year in FPC's Discipleship house and came ready to share her love and enthusiasm with our boys. Kelsey has worn many hats in the past, including actress, Young Life leader and camp counselor. And, as many of us do, we know she will wear many hats at Micah as well, including caregiver, mentor and much more. It is a joy to have her here with us. Support Kelsey.
Lucy Wynn has been a member of the Micah Family for many years and served as our summer intern during her time in college. After graduating in May 2016, she moved here the following September to help out with our communications and serve as a caregiver to the boys in the Micah House. Support Lucy.
Coming to Honduras from Destin, Florida, in 2007, the Corleys chose to forgo retirement and follow after God's heart in loving the street-connected youth of Tegucigalpa. After working with another ministry since 2009, Pat and Michelle joined the Micah Project in April 2018. Their educational background includes degrees in business and Christian counseling. Michelle is passionate about discipleship, child development and staff-care. Pat's background as an entrepreneur and business-owner gives him expertise and a God-given passion to facilitate a new component of the Micah Project, "Micah Works." Support the Corleys.
Roger has been a part of Micah since the very beginning. He is Honduran and we consider him a missionary in his own country. He has been a leader and role model to these boys for many years. Recently he has migrated into a new position as the weekend guy, taking care of the boys and organizing their plans three weekends out of every month. Although his job only requires him to be here Saturday and Sunday, you can often find him at Micah during the week because he enjoys being a constant presence in the boys' lives.
Aida Martinez came to the Micah Project in May 2000, after working for twelve years in another program for street children in Tegucigalpa. Aida takes care of the weekday meals for the Micah Project, and also manages the food for our groups and for special events. The boys often call her "Mama Aida", which indicates that she is much more than just a cook.
Ana has worked with the Micah Project since 2001. She helps keep the Micah House running, which includes our weekly grocery purchases, helping in the kitchen (especially when we have groups) and organizing the daily laundry and housecleaning.
Marlon and Nohemi Castellanos joined the Micah Project in February of 2006 as the Timothy coordinators. They have two daughters, Elizabeth and Abigail. Marlon's main role is the legal coordinator of the ministry, making sure that our permits are current with the Honduran government, as well as helping with everything from residency for missionary staff to the boys' national paperwork. He also works in hiring of staff and coordinating professional development. Nohemi also teaches in our educational program.
After years as a wonderful teacher in our educational program and three years coordinating the Micah boys' homeschool education program, Paty Pavon took the position of Micah House Coordinator. She works so hard to make sure things in the Micah house are running smoothly, giving each boy and young man the unique attention he deserves. She graduated from a local university in 2010 with a degree in education. We have known her family since 1998, when they lost their home in Hurricane Mitch. She currently lives with her mom, Flora, in the Villa Linda Miller community. She is also a foster mom to a 3-year-old girl.
Wendy Varela is a part-time teacher teaching high school language arts and humanities in our education program. She also uses her college degree (in counseling) by helping to connect our young men to psychological and psychiatric services when needed. Wendy is married to a long-time Micah friend, Marcos Herman (Ana and Nohemi's brother!) and they have three young children. Wendy also serves as the family help coordinator and social worker for the ministry.
Gaby joined the Micah team in 2012 following her graduation with a degree in accounting. She has been a tremendous help as she has put order to the monthly accounting as well as managing the cash and receipts coming in and out each day. Gaby has also done a lot of work with the finances of Micah 2.0.
Franklyn is from Villa Linda Miller, and has worked as the go-to maintenance man at Micah for years. Since Micah Tech began, he was trained by Brian Wiggs to run the daily carpentry and welding programs, as well as the discipleship aspect of the technical school.
Eduardo lives in the Villa Linda Miller community adjacent to Micah 2.0. He was a key player in the construction of Micah 2.0 and is now working as a teacher in our technical school. He loves spending time with the guys and is a positive role model in their lives.
We originally hired Douglas to help us shuttle some of our older boys back and forth from the local high school they were attending, but we soon discovered he would be handy in many more ways. He helps us stay on top of maintenance of all of the project's vehicles and continues to be our go-to guy for all of our transportation needs, from taking the boys to dentist appointments and soccer practice to helping Aida tote back a week's worth of food from the grocery store.
Tina is originally from New Orleans and graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in Management. She first came to know the Micah Project on a vision trip in 2008. She instantly fell in love with the boys and the amazing work that Michael and the rest of the Micah staff had done and wanted to be a part of helping in anyway she could. She came back to Houston and got to work organizing a fundraising golf tournament. This year will mark the fifth year for this fundraiser. In 2010, after deciding to retire from her position as Chief Accounting Officer of a Houston-based oil company in order to focus on the much tougher job of raising her two children, Tina joined the Micah USA staff as Chief Financial Officer.
John and Rebecca Bell are a couple with a true calling for missions, which is lived out daily in the passionate and wisdom-filled way in which they minister. Becca graduated from Malone College in Ohio in 2000, and then from Wheaton College in December 2001 with an MA in Intercultural Studies. In March 2004 she joined the staff of our ministry after spending time training and working in group homes for street boys in both Mozambique and Brazil in the previous two years.
John Bell married Rebecca in December of 2008 (they had met in Wheaton eight years prior!). After graduating from Wheaton College, John worked in Mexico as a missionary, first with CFCI and then with Instituto CanZion. John has an MA in Christian Studies from Denver Seminary, and is currently working on an MA in clinical and mental health at Richmont Graduate University in Marietta, GA. They are currently living south of Atlanta with their two children, and serving in the missionary role of US Directors of Development of the Micah Project. Support the Bells.

Our board consists of three board of directors and four executive team members. These individuals were chosen based on the following criteria: cooperative team spirit, strong work ethic, high moral values, integrity, emotional intelligence, and decision-making capabilities. This criterion facilitates in developing an infrastructure that is in alignment with the corporate governance, promote new opportunities, and innovate.
Board of Executives
Dr. Zorayda Mejia, Founder and CEO of My New House
In 2009, Zorayda joined The Church On The Way Los Angeles where she volunteered distributing food for the most disadvantaged families. With her help, the food distribution evolved into a conventional food bank, called Life En El Camino, where she later acted as the executive director. Life En El Camino has served more than 3,000 families since 2011 in the Pico-Union District and South Central Los Angeles. For nine consecutive years, Zorayda coordinated Family Day of Joy, which benefited over 2,500 individuals. In the present, Dr. Mejia acts as the organizational administrator at El Camino Church, and she has become a professor teaching organizational behavior at Life Pacific College, Masters in Leadership Program.
Zorayda finds excellent satisfaction in volunteerism because volunteerism has favored her with opportunities for growth, including career and leadership positions. Zorayda earned an Associate of Arts Degree from Los Angeles City College and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Sociology Gerontology from California State University Los Angeles. Later, she earned a doctorate in Psychology in Organizational Management from Phillips Graduate University.
Zorayda Mejia grew up seeing her parents saving some of their business profit to supply the needs of the poor people in El Salvador. In her childhood, the family distributed food, clothes, shoes, personal hygiene products, and school supplies to the most affected families during the war and after earthquakes and floods. On weekends, Zorayda devoted her time to help in the Special Olympics, giving children with disabilities a distinct perspective of what the world can offer. She also volunteered as a big sister at a shelter for daughters of women in prison. These girls were victims of sex slavery. The exposure to these girls impacted her life so much that she daydreamed of becoming a millionaire and giving all her money to the poor. Years later, after immigrating to the United States, Zorayda became a single mother. She fell from her parents' grace, who were her only economic support at that time. This lack of support led to many years of struggle to make ends meet.

Q: How do I get the class name in a mixin? How do I get the name of the class that is using a mixin instead of the name of the mixin class itself inside of a function defined within a mixin class?
To try help clarify, here is my code:
// this function is from TypeScript mixin documentation
function applyMixins(derivedCtor: any, baseCtors: any[]) {
  baseCtors.forEach(baseCtor => {
    Object.getOwnPropertyNames(baseCtor.prototype).forEach(name => {
      derivedCtor.prototype[name] = baseCtor.prototype[name];
    });
  });
}

class ClassName {
  public getClassName(): string {
    var funcNameRegex = /function (.{1,})\(/;
    var results = (funcNameRegex).exec(this.constructor.toString());
    var className = (results && results.length > 1) ? results[1] : '';
    return className;
  }
}

class ExampleFoo implements ClassName {
  getClassName: () => string;
}

applyMixins(ExampleFoo, [ClassName]);

When I instantiate ExampleFoo and call getClassName it prints out "ClassName" but I need it to print out "ExampleFoo":
console.log(new ExampleFoo().getClassName()) // => prints "ClassName"

A: I suggest to not copy the constructor. Replace the function applyMixins with:
function applyMixins(derivedCtor: any, baseCtors: any[]) {
  baseCtors.forEach(baseCtor => {
    Object.getOwnPropertyNames(baseCtor.prototype).forEach(name => {
      if (name !== 'constructor')
        derivedCtor.prototype[name] = baseCtor.prototype[name];
    });
  });
}

If space is a premium, look for a compact or narrow, tall model – though be aware that may have an impact on the size and shape of the loaves you can make. And if you plan on moving it around, say in and out of a cupboard, look for a model weighing less than 5kg.
Loaf size and shape Many breadmakers offer a choice of three loaf sizes, although compact models may limit this to two. This means you can bake small loaves for everyday use and larger ones when you've guests. If you're after a shop-style, horizontal shaped loaf, check the interior bread pan before you buy. Many breadmakers produce slightly square loaves.

If you've dietary requirements, look for a breadmaker that works with gluten-free bread mixes and speciality flours such as spelt and rye.

Jen Fitzgerald is a poet, essayist, and a native New Yorker who received her MFA in Poetry at Lesley University. She is the host of New Books in Poetry Podcast as part of the New Books Network, a member of New York Writers Workshop, and was a Bread Loaf 2014 Conference participant. She teaches her workshop, "Writing the Silence," at the New York Public Library. Her first collection of poetry, "The Art of Work" has been published by Noemi Press in September of 2016. Her work has been featured on PBS Newshour and Harriet: The Poetry Foundation Blog and in Tin House, Salon, PEN Anthology, Cosmonauts Avenue, among others and is forthcoming at Colorado Review and Public Pool. She is now in the D.C. area and at work on new poetry and prose collections.
Last month, Jen Fitzgerald released her first collection of poetry, The Art of Work, through Noemi Press. This vivid collection from this talented New York native provides both snapshots of the labor movement (specifically, the meatcutters' union) to photographic stills of the author's own place within that history. The collection's 25 or so poems both drop the reader into the perspective of a worker at his or her station on the killing floor ("Cut, scrape, move to the left"), while at other times observing her own background. For instance, through her gaze on her grandmother ("Survival: Generations") and through the familiar tale of a "Diner Waitress," Fitzgerald tells the reader the story of a working class experience from within the skin of the narrator and from a bird's eye view of the entire system. "Diner Waitress" begins with a morning breakfast rush; in a flurry of activity, the scene is broken up by semicolons while remaining one continuous line, which suggests at Fitzgerald's ability to net several disparate elements within just half a page of poetry.
In The Art of Work, Fitzgerald is writing about the history of the meatcutters' labor union, but also about her own place, or role, within the history of the working class. The story of our labor is the story of human history in its most physical of terms. In this history, Fitzgerald has also captured the yearning that accompanies a life of labor.
What led you to write about meat cutters? Did you begin by writing the poetry itself, or did you first do the research, visit the killing floor, etc.?
I was given the opportunity to accompany a mentor of mine as he took membership and site photos for UFCW Local 342 in New York City. My family worked for and within this Union so it was very "close to home" in this way as well as geographically located in the city where my family has been for 200 years.
Through my experiences over a two year period in multiple job sites, from retail to processing, to slaughter houses, to killing floors, and beyond, I was exposed to a wide breadth and sample of this industry and the men and women who inhabit it. I had no intention of writing poetry, only learning about photography: manual cameras, framing shots, light, subjects, settings, etc. But what I was really learning was "image making." After our second time out, I needed to process the stimuli I was encountering— the overwhelming stimuli. I did this through writing and once I started, I kept going. Site after site, I processed my encounters through poetry. Through that writing I began to understand what I was witnessing and how the small sample I was privy to represented an enormous industry.
This assembly line is a gear in a larger assembly line which is a gear in an even larger assembly line and so on until we have stretched across the entire map and touched the mouths of every human being in the world.
I really admire the specificity of the details about the meatcutting alongside the larger topic of the labor movement. I felt like I was both given insight into the perspective of the single worker and the oppression of the physical, repetitive, dangerous labor. Was that a difficult balance for you to strike?
Thank you for recognizing and appreciating this balance. The connection and balance were inherent in the observation and rendering because they were immediately apparent.
"Cut, scrape, move to the left.
These small details extend into a much larger machine and that is one of consumption. This assembly line is a gear in a larger assembly line which is a gear in an even larger assembly line and so on until we have stretched across the entire map and touched the mouths of every human being in the world. Beyond the map, we have also extended into historical timelines of the food industry and the history of the labor movement. The two have been very closely tied for hundreds of years.
The micro is macro. The industry responds to need: that of food and that of the ability to feed oneself. The industry is permanence meaning the employer/employee dichotomy of need is also permanence. What varies is level of exploitation present. This level directly correlates with social markers, and to a degree, always has.
Is there a particular magical time of the day in which you work or are there any strange rituals/sage you burn before beginning a writing session?
I write anywhere and whenever I can. While I don't have any particular rituals, sage and pinion are regular features in my home. I've found that the awesome space I carved out for myself as an office (complete with views of the Chesapeake Bay, Ospreys, and Bald Eagles) is distracting and uncomfortable. I have since turned it over to my daughter as a play room. Usually, I just sequester myself to an old, scratched up table in the kitchen that faces the washing machine and write away. I like feeling contained. I am contained physically in a space. My writing is contained in the moments between paying work, activist work, domestic work, and child rearing. Maybe I thrive in those moments or maybe these are what my brain associates with creativity.
As much as it is "poetry of witness," I was bearing witness to my own history.
I've been reading that you're at work on a memoir and I really admire the piece you wrote about identity in Salon. What inspired you to write memoir instead of poetry?
Thank you again! When I decided to pursue writing seriously in college, I started in nonfiction. I had even completed the first draft of what I thought was my memoir, to the tune of 185 pages, in 2006. So the real question is, what inspired me to write poetry instead of creative nonfiction?
There is a real kinship between the poem and the essay/CNF. They tend to come from the same parts of the brain, the same impetus, make the same connections, and require the same narrative mining.
While studying for my BA and MFA, I realized that I felt really comfortable in the surreal, the lyric, and imagistic/metaphorical. I incorporated much of this in my CNF. I truly enjoyed writing what I thought was "experimental" but turned out to be lyric essays and poetry. I followed that joy and now sit somewhere between the two worlds. Genre hybridity is pretty exciting. And anytime I feel as though I have done justice to an image, thought, or concept I consider it a success regardless of the vessel.
For this collection, it had to be poetry all the way. Most of the writing we have about these populations is almost entirely journalistic. This makes sense because the writers and photographers have existed primarily outside of these socio-economic classes and cultures. Theirs was akin to field work. I had the opportunity to interweave or braid my personal and family narratives with those of the workers. The intersection is seen further when the reader realizes that my family is currently working in this industry and the Union that represents it. As much as it is "poetry of witness," I was bearing witness to my own history.
Do you think you'll return to the topic of labor in your poetry?
I am a "working class poet" but can be so without only writing about working class themes. It is who I am, how I was raised, and how I move through the world. If I am to "write what I know," then I imagine there will always be some semblance of a working class point of view present in my work.
Before we can figure out where we belong, we have to decide what kind of writer we want to be and what work we want our writing to do in our community, country, and world.

Nat Baldwin's album People Changes is much like the stark Maine setting in which it was created. The album shows welcome markings of his experimental bent from years as the Dirty Projectors bassist and a former disciple of free jazz legend Anthony Braxton, but the serene isolation of 17 million acres of New England forestland make this cabin-born set intimate and sincere.
A lean ensemble of talented, time-proven friends was enlisted for the studio--some dating back to his New Hampshire childhood--chosen specifically to create the album's earnest live sound. Their apt decision to record voice and bass live on most tracks is quickly felt on opener "A Little Lost," letting Baldwin's softly warbled falsetto hug a heartfelt cover of Arthur Russell's sacred love song. Woodwinds flit and pull against contrabass pulses on "Weights," then recede to let Baldwin's bare performance stir on "Real Fakes." The full cast of Nat's touring ensemble handsomely match the bold arrangements of "Lifted," followed by jagged improvisation on "What Is There" and a tender rendition of Kurt Weisman's "Let My Spirit Rise" to finish. Ultimately, People Changes is a slice through the void of late nights spent among tall pines.
