January 20, 2025 will be remembered for many reasons, and most of them bad. As we brace for whatever’s coming, I’m celebrating Still Life with City‘s third birthday! In summer 2022, my sister and I organized a book drive to send aid to Ukraine. Somehow we were able to drum up a few hundred dollars with this book, which we sent to beleaguered writers in Odesa. It may not be much, but one does what one can. It’s pretty affordable for a poetry book, so why not take a chance on it? Слава Україні!
