Please enjoy a reading of my poem Industrial, Mixed Use that was graciously published by The Potomac Review in Issue 75.

This poem is about growing up working in a marine engine repair shop in Homer, Alaska that my parents operated for 45 years and recently decided to close. I have so many great memories of the place, the people that worked there, my parents’ success, and the impact on the community.
