I am so excited that my poem “To a Growth” has been published in the Spring issue of The Puritan, one of Canada’s finest online literary magazines, along with a sound recording of the poem, and soon to be accompanied by my Author’s Note in their blog, The Town Crier. This poem is a deeply personal one for me, one that makes me feel incredibly vulnerable, but also proud to share, for all women who have experienced the treacherous waiting for their mammogram or ultrasound results, for all those (like me, thank God) who have taken deep sighs of relief, but especially for those whose worst fears are confirmed: I stand with you, I support you, you are not alone.
