DISPATCHES FROM THE MEMORY CARE MUSEUM was just published (August 2021) by Kelsay Books.
TRANSITIONS: A HAIKU
the movers have gone
boxes are flattened emptied
shelves begin to fill
we’ve begun anew
telling our stories on walls
each pot placed with care
books we loved were saved
they nestle beside others
we’ve yet to savor
the bed has been made
clothes with hopes hang in closets
we’ve pruned the others
our essential tools:
picture hooks hammers nails screws
internet service
last night we slept well
there were no sirens or horns
no urban bedlam
our windows face trees
a red-shouldered hawk soars past
she bids us welcome

The second volume of "AWAKE IN THE WORLD" has just been published. This wonderful anthology of poetry and stories from over 50 writers (including me) explores and celebrates the intersection between nature and the wild and the humans experiencing it, sometimes a little too close for comfort but always with deep appreciation and respect of its beauty and power, not to mention its fragility.
