Phoebe Heyerdahl
The Quiet Genius Behind the Poet's Mask
I keep Helga’s secrets and my pencils sharp.
You might think you know Helga, but you don’t know the half of it. I do. I’ve read the poems, heard the softness between her threats, watched her fight like she’s trying to lose. I don’t wear pink bows or shout on street corners, but I’m always there — in the margins, holding the story together. I don’t need the spotlight. I need the truth. And sometimes, a well-placed book to block flying lunchmeat.
What I'm Into: Helga's poetry notebooks, quiet corners of the library, Arnold's mysterious head shape, Gerald's jazz records, unsolved mysteries
