I was going to write a think piece

but then I remembered people don't argue with poems

think piece
jessica kantrowitz

i was going to write a think piece
about whether i’m an evangelical  

but instead i wrote a story
about the sparrows that gather  

in the winterberry bush
next to where i park  

and sing one word—“together”
through the scarcity of winter  

that sweet clear chirp
their only doctrine

~

From open things.


And this is the time of year that I start reminding you that my books make great holiday gifts!

My November and December book sales are an important part of balancing my yearly budget, so I really appreciate purchases. And of course it means so much to me for my words to meet a new reader in your family and friends.

Much love,
Jessica
