A pleasure to encounter this poem here, linked to a surprising and poignant memory of the private Wes Craven.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Rona, and thanks for reading. It was an emotional piece to write after all these years…I appreciate knowing it resonated. I just saw your post about your mother today and look forward to reading it. And thank you for subscribing! I’m glad to have you here.

I see you’re an ex-magazine person. Former EIC here, learned much about writing in Magazine Land.

Yes—the lost world of magazine publishing. I was on the sales side but probably should have been on the editorial side. Not that long ago in some ways, but a different time. I learned a lot. Glad to connect with someone else who’s been there!
