Garden Valley Variety is a poem that explores the good old fashioned theme of romantic love, with the added twist of being trapped in our homes during a yearlong (+) pandemic – with two kids under the age of 5. Originally a poem that I wrote for my husband for Valentine’s Day, I am excited to share that this piece will be included in Moonstone Arts Center’s “Love & the Pandemic” Poetry Anthology to be read live and published on March 14, 2021.
