@jillkitchen.bsky.socialLoved reading this, Donna. Thank you! My grandfather memorized well over 100 poems and my grandmother would just say a number to him and he would recite that particular poem to her before bed. I haven't memorized anything other than song lyrics since school. Your post reminded me to try again!

@jillkitchen.bsky.socialI still can’t quite believe I have a poem in this magical issue of Alaska Quarterly Review behind this gorgeous cover photograph. Many thanks to Ronald Spatz for including my work in these pages. (Photo taken beneath the magnolia tree where I wrote “a sudden chorus”.)
