I had the privilege of hearing Michael Longley read this poem at what was his last reading.
Enda, his wife of 60 years, was sitting in the 2nd row listening to every word
'dawn and dusk can kiss once a year'
Cloudberry kisses

Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract.
I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone.
Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting.
Let's keep fighting corporate greed.
