Stumbled on your poem and was wondering how you are and what you are up to other than writing poetry.. Thought of you last summer when I spotted a yellow karmin ghia parked at a service station in Sister Bay. Thought it might be yours?
I am reading a mystery series by Louise Penny. Her prose is VERY much like poetry. Give her a try. If you do, start with Still Life, her first book
Hope all is well and drop me a line if you get this

I just started book 14 Kingdom of the blind a few days ago. Difficult to put down. I am also reading Alan Furst, a number of books set in the early 1940s occupied France. Are you living in the cottage on Glidden Drive? What a great place. We last spent some time together at Notre Dame, early 1970s!. Would like to gt caught up. Try my e-mail
