The Oldest Boy in First Grade

  
  
Chelsea Rathburn lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where she is completing her  MFA at the University of Arkansas. When not teaching, tutoring, or dreaming of returning to Florida, she can—occasionally—be found writing. Her poetry  has appeared or is forthcoming in The Formalist, Pleiades, and Kalliope, among others. She was a finalist in The Formalist’s 2000 Howard Nemerov Sonnet Competition. Her most enduring recent accomplishment, however, is her marriage to husband Brandon in May.
