November 2026

I hate to say goodbye to October:  month of walks through blazing, sun-saturated woods, a cherished writing residency at The Studios at MASS MoCA, 2nd grade grandchild’s sweet soccer matches, cherished meals with family and friends, birthday and Halloween celebrations, a glorious end-of-month boogie-boarding adventure at Good Harbor. To complement all of that, I memorized four poems as part of the Metres Memorization Challenge last month:

·      September 1918, by Amy Lowell

·     Hope is the Thing, by Emily Dickinson

·     Old Houses, by Robert Cording

·     All Hallow’s, by Louise Glück

I taped each recitation and posted it here for my accountability and your listening pleasure. 

And now, onward to November and new adventures. And please, remember to cast your vote!
