Loved loved loved this poem! Says so much. On Sunday I introduced a novelist and a poet and moderated a discussion at a local library and sure enough the angel showed up—and it was ok.

Hurray for the angel! I'm glad (and not a bit surprised) that they showed up for you. Thanks for reading, Marlena.
