The new online journal, Cardinal Flower, is featuring three of my poems today. The first, "Commonplace," is fairly new, but the other two--"Granny Has a Vision" and "The End of the Season"--are collected in the Unpublishable Manuscript. In fact, regular visitors may recognize bits and pieces of "The End of the Season," which borrows a few phrases and images from one of last autumn's blog posts.

So I want to thank you, my invisible monitors and faithful ghosts. I rise in the morning and I write to you. And sometimes a letter becomes a poem.
