My poem Object Permanence is in Analog magazine’s Sept/Oct issue, and also featured on their website for the next two months.
A lot of writing about grief, including my writing about grief, is inspired by the loss of our nearest and dearest. This is not that, this is the next circle out–my dear little old great-aunt Bets, my ex-boyfriend’s delightful father Marc, all those whose pathways through the world were joys just one notch more distant from mine…until the day they weren’t, and I miss them still, in their own way.
Which is, of course, still a very nerdy way.
