I have two poems up in Burning House Press today. Much thanks to Burning House and Bola Opaleke, guest Editor and Poet extraordinare, for selecting them for publication. These were originally written when my mother was ill and just after her death. I didn’t share or submit them for six years but I felt now was the right time and Bola was the right Editor. If you click over, be sure to read the other poems published this month – they are stellar!
Wonderful. Congratulations. It is always a journey to the time and place to release our work. Glad yours found a good resting place.

Congratulations, Charlotte. Those are powerful poems. I was especially moved by the second one.

Two exceptionally resonant poems. I can understand waiting to present these, given the depth of grief that so clearly comes through. I’m grateful to read them, thinking of my mother’s death in 1990.
