Dead in a Ditch?

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: http://ithacalit.com/ruth-bavetta.htm...

See me, hear me! Last year Kentucky Review published my poems, A Song on the End, The Joy of Cooking and Elegy for My Mother. Now they've added videos of me reading them. http://kentuckyreview.org/index.php/i...
Scroll down a bit, click on the name of the poem, and then poke the arrow to wake me up.

Here's one of my visual poetry pieces, The Making of History, an amalgam of image and word. Thanks to Rattle for posting this on Facebook. Do click on the image and then click on the next image. That way you can see what the piece really looks like, and read a bit about it.

Silver Birch Press has published my poem, Red Silk Heart in their “Me as a Child” series. You can read it here: https://silverbirchpress.wordpress.co... True story. What can that guy have been thinking? He was only 13, too. I’ll bet his mother put him up to it. I was totally embarrassed.

Fox Adoption Magazine has published my poem, How to Get to My House. You can read it here: http://foxadoptionmag.org/poetry/how-...

Petrichor Machine - A literary magazine for people who love words. Their latest edition is now out, and it includes my poem, Full Circle. The is a print publication so you can’t read it online, but here’s a link to the journal: http://www.petrichormachine.com/

Petrichor: {PET-ri-kuhr} The distinct and pleasant smell of rain on previously dry earth.
Machine: {muh-SHEEN} A mechanical apparatus or contrivance, consisting of interrelated parts with separate functions

That’s it for now.
Cheers,
Ruth

Gina Whitlock What a nice way to spend a rainy morning in Dallas (tropical depression Bill). I enjoyed each and every poem. Loved Red Silk Heart - I was embarrassed with you. Elegy of a VW brought back memories of my first job where I was told to pick up my boss' children after school. I couldn't tell him I didn't know how to drive a stick shift so me and the children lurched around town until I landed a better job. Thanks for the lovely morning.

Ruth Why thank you, Gina. I appreciate your reading them. Was your bosses car a VW?
