Wishing you superlative autumn weather–and satisfying reading–wherever you are!

Thanks, Liz! This poem was written after I spent quality time with your book, Galoshes, and I wonder if your work influenced me here?
No fingers in my ears for that gem-of-poem! I’m thinking it might be one of my favorites. Thanks for posting!
Hi Beth,
Thank you!
I have not thought of this as a prose poem, but I will look again at it through that lens.
Congratulations, Leslie. A prose poem with passion and such clarity!
