Anna Cates of the Wilmington Writers has edited Little Black Box, a lovely, spooky collection of speculative poetry (see the T of C at the end of this post for the participating poets). It includes this poem of mine, a personal favorite, memorializing the giant shagbark that until a year or so ago dominated our backyard. The story of that loss is told in the poem. We are still grieving - it was like losing a beloved family member. Wait. It was not like losing a family member. It was losing a family member, albeit a very large, shaggy, nut-bearing, unintentionally homicidal auntie fond of adorning herself with birds' nests. squirrels and the occasional owl.

*You can also hear some of the poets read their poems this Saturday, 4/15/23, from 2 to 4 at the Wilmington Library
