June is Lexington Poetry Month, and I’m late to the party (as usual) but not by too much. My first poem is posted here: https://lexpomo.com/poem/broken-things/

The last three quarters of 2023 pretty much ate my lunch, and I’ve spent what amounts to the first half of 2024 recovering. I’ll skip the tedious details but give a few highlights: relocation of an adult child and an elder parent; four surgeries on same parent; two respiratory illnesses (mine); one very scary medication reaction (also mine).
I managed to write between major life events and even posted a few poems during Lexington Poetry Month, which can be found here: https://lexpomo.com/poet/2023/jennifer-barricklow-2023/
