Reclamation

3/24/10

It’s flooding in the northern U.S. and it brings to mind a poem I wrote about the “flood of the (20th) century” when I lived in St. Paul, MN. What does a flood suggest to you? Being overwhelmed? What does the word “reclamation” mean to you? What are you reclaiming, or is someone or something else claiming you and your time? This poem will be in my new poetry book called, “Please Use This for Children and Not for War and Guns” (Blooming Twig Books, NY, NY) coming out in a couple of weeks. Reclamation.mp3
