It’s the last day of March, and as I’m still savoring making my way through my two journals full of pandemic lockdown poetry, I’m offering a poem from March 2020 for you today. I hope it helps to light your way into the month of April, which as it happens, is National Poetry Month.

I can’t wait to continue to share new poetry with you next month, as well as a longer form essay I’m working on, inspired by a new-to-me, absolutely stunning poem by Judith Sornberger. I’m also mulling over creating another poetry music video and possibly reviving the podcast I created years back. We shall see!
