If they are awkward—with a foreign God

Elaine Feinstein has written a gorgeous ghost poem about Isaac Rosenberg: "April Fools' Day." I disagree with some of the accompanying analysis, but you can read the poem first and then skip it. He's one of the most important of the war poets to me, but I never wrote about him; I'm glad someone has.

Bogi Takács has highlighted my poem "Last Letters" as part of eir #diversepoems series. I'm honored. There's great discussion in the thread.

This year we ran our Seder at triple time, because a sixteen-month-old niece does not have the attention span for even my family's abbreviated rituals (and our guests were an hour and a half late due to traffic, so she was already up late). My brother still did Pharaoh's voice and bargained for the afikomen when his daughter found it hidden on top of the bongos, under the fluffy pink cat-socks she likes to play with. derspatchel and I made an almond-flour lemon cake.

These are good things.
