It is April 2023, National Poetry Month. I am recording myself reading one of my published/curated pieces of poetry each day for 30 days.

Reading # 6 of 30

Reading, It seems like the back wheel got him. This poem is about driving the mountain road between Homer and Anchorage in Alaska and the accidental murder that takes place along the way. This poem is a particular favorite of mine. You can read this poem online at Hole in the Head Review.
