Faces in the trees, herons at the edge, low blood sugar in the car. Snapped necklaces and sick fog — the spook of the good and bad alike, the always already passing. Is there anything to do about it?
Well, there's a lot to do, obviously. One tiny thing is turning, also known as seeing, also known as reading, also known as some poems somewhere.
One where is the new NOÖ Weekly guest edited by Natalie Lyalin!
Here's what Lyalin has to say:
"To view suffering as temporary is a privilege. To call parenting an occasional act of suffering is a privilege as well. Health, safety, opportunity, love, food, and water are all a privilege—but they should not be ... These poems are an offering. They loosely represent the moment of traveling toward a better world, a better life ahead. We have to think that way, because otherwise what else is there to think?"
Featuring Cynthia Arrieu-King, Christopher DeWeese, Seth Landman, Zach Savich, and Lesley Yalen. Poems for the last of the raining! Poems for when it keeps raining! Check 'em out!
