Dead in a Ditch! That got your attention?
The new issue of IthacaLit has two of my poems,
Dead in a Ditch and
Traveling. I wrote
Dead in a Ditch recently for
Flour, Water, Salt, my in-progress book of food-related poems.
Traveling is from quite a few years ago, during my bout with cancer. You can read them here:
