My poem "Stepmother" is included in the new issue of
Eye to the Telescope.The issue contains many fine poems and several that I loved. My favorites include Herb Kauderer's bitter-toned "Ambassador to the Amazons," John Reinhart's evocative and lyrical "Exotic Heads Trimmed Neatly," Sara Backer's clever, and, in its closing stanza, haunting "Jack."
My favorite of all was John C. Mannone's "Emancipation," which is beautifully written, specific in its details, and universal in its theme.
