I don't know if it is a brilliant or terrible decision to reread this book right now. I read it as a senior in high school, and I'm sure I understand very little. So, I want to see how my 54-year-old self gets it.

I have a new poem out this week in On Gaia Literary Magazine. "Totem" was a difficult poem to write and to release into the world as it speaks to painful childhood moments that I was good at masking with a smile.

Mary Oliver taught us that paying attention was holy. The natural world has given us much to feast our eyes upon. Every spring I’m so grateful for the persistence of these azalea blooms.
