“Shooting Stars” a finalist for the 2020 Peseroff Prize

Am pleased to share that this poem “Shooting Stars” was a finalist for the 2020 Peseroff Prize awarded by the Breakwater Review, Issue No. 28. Inspired by my son, this meditation on motherhood and the strange journey that it is was paired with a diagram of meteors in which I changed the word “meteor” to “mother.”

This is a really amazing issue of poems and art so please check it out. Many congratulations to the winner, Tarik Dobbs, for his fine writing.
