A Poem
This month, the online magazine Literary Mama has published a poem of mine called "Meeting the Train." When Ben was a baby, I didn't have time to write very much, but I did write several poems that captured the disorientation and emotional rawness of being a new mother. Now when I have similar experiences with Meg, it's comforting to think of those poems and remember I've been through this once before. I may be horrible at scrapbooking or filling out baby books, but at least I get words down on paper sometimes.

Ah, the days when I only knew you as writermama!!
Love this poem, especially the firefly.
Congratulations on the publication, Tess.
The poem brought back memories for me, too--some essence of the whole newborn experience is universal, isn't it?
