What are you working on?

I am admittedly in a dry spell. I published my first book in April and had a number of poems published back to back in journals. I think I slacked off after that. This summer, I’ve been taking the time to go back and edit and rework old poems that are still unpublished. I am intermittently working on a difficult poem that I began to write after a young mother in our community died.
