Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee (December 18, 2022)

Welcome back to Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee! It has been a hot minute since our last session, and I'm glad we're back together. All is well on my side of the world; we've simply been busier than busy. I hope all is well in your world--or as well as it can be. To make my return to our routine a bit easier, today's reading consists of poems all published in Poetry, one of the popular literary magazines. 

If you're new, welcome! What we do here: Most every Sunday, I read good poems by other people while we all drink coffee.
