I am so pleased have a new poem included in the Fall 2020 season of The Night Heron Barks. This poem began during the 2019 Napa Valley Writers' Conference, when I had the distinct privilege of being in Eavan Boland's workshop. Her feedback lives in the final version. Thanks to my workshop mates, and to another teacher, Jeanine Walker, who has been helping me grapple with when a poem is "done." Finally, thanks to the editorial staff at The Night Heron Barks for presenting the poem so beautifully.
