Greetings from New Mexico! We’ve been traveling, and setting up in new places for five days or eight days or in a chain hotel overnight stay always comes with a touch of disorientation. So I chose this poem for our housesitters (also in new rooms) to place in the box this week. It’s the first time I’ve featured former Poet Laureate Kay Ryan in the box.
Also posted, but not sent out, was Carol Coffee Riposa’s “Vegetable Love in Texas,” a bit of irony, as this summer’s intense heat has meant almost no veggies for harvesting in my own garden beds. But one can always dream of tomatoes.
Stay cool!
“The mind must
set itself up
wherever it goes”
