News Flash! MEZZO CAMMIN Publishes Two of My Poems, “Encased in Amber” and “A View from Vista Drive”

Posted on by

Nothing takes my mind off looming cabin fever like reading surprising new work, and so in this chilled time of the year I am especially grateful for something new to capture my attention. If you, too, feel this way, here is some good news–

The new issue of Mezzo Cammin: An Online Journal of Formalist Poetry by Women has been published. As usual, it is full of work that inspires me with its deftness and insight. In this issue, I especially enjoyed Barbara Crooker’s paean to some of the currently eclipsed arts that take up much of my time–baking, soup-making, working with yarns–called “Obsolence.”

Two of my own poems, a sonnet and a set of tercets, can also be found here. Both are drawn from an as-yet-unfinished collection of poems about mothers and daughters.

Happy reading! Leslie

  2. Hi Ann,

    Thank you. I always like to know what you think. I look forward to our discussions this year of Tennyson and Duffy.

  3. Congratulations, Leslie! These are wonderful poems. Not sure I would have read anyone but you yet I too really enjoyed Barbara Crooker’s poems. Hope to look at some others over the course of the weekend.

    The photo of the purple yarn and cup and saucer is lovely! Captures such cozy textures and feelings!
