Natchez evidently told this story to Glück, who had Natchez in attendance while giving a poetry reading at Moe's Books, Berkeley, on 9 February 2012 and at her Stanford lectures.Natchez has published two poetry collections, Jade Suit (2001) and Catwalk (2020). Glück's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection contains some of her best-known poems, including "Snowdrops", "End of Winter", and "The Silver Lily".
