Day 5 of my Poetry Teaching Trip to Kefalonia Greece: I read my poetry in a Greek cave! I read my poetry in a Greek cave! I read my poetry in a Greek cave!
The poem: “Hawk Shadow Here to Help,” temporarily retitled “κότσυφας Shadow Here to Help” in honor of the blackbirds singing around us.
The cave: Zervati Cave on Kefalonia Island.
A dream come true publication! ❤️The Kenyon Review just sent my contributor copy with my poem “Hawk Shadow Here to Help.” I took the magazine outside to show the hawks but I think they’re all down in Miami Beach until the sun comes back. 🙏 Thank you to everyone at the Kenyon Review!
