Candle one of the first Menorah that we /built at the foot of the mountain is for/everywhere our feet stepped before/The memory of our history, rooted in our toes.

🚨 New Poetry Book Alert: High Moose Alert 🦌
“The bald eagle does not need you to like him.”
That’s one of the many poetic revelations in my new book, High Moose Alert, written while my wife and I traveled through Vancouver, Alaska, and the Canadian Yukon (while our son was safely off at camp).
The book includes: — moose (theoretical) — bears (sort of) — bald eagles (real, judgmental) — cruise ships, glaciers, and some very important donuts
