Poetry
During Holy Week, I read a new poem as part of this service at my former parish, St. Luke’s in Evanston. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Wd4PTsTd0&ab_channel=St.Luke%27sEpiscopalChurch%2CEvanston

I’m honored to have my poem “Forty Trochees” chosen by Rachel Hadas for the Frost Farm Prize in Metrical Poetry.
I hope everyone is well. My family and I are well too, just sheltering in place and adjusting to doing work and school from home.
Three people in the past week have asked for copies of my book. I have copies that I can deliver (at a safe distance) in Sewanee/ Monteagle or mail to you wherever you are. It’s also still available from the publisher and from certain mail-order bookstores, but you may find that it’s faster to order from me. $14.00 plus $1.50 postage. I take Venmo and PayPal. Just send me an email at jmichael@sewanee.edu.
