MONDAY: I Wonder

BY PAT RAIA

Copyright is held by the author.

I wonder
Everybody
loses something —
keys
and
coins
and
letters
from
old lovers
It takes
nearly
a lifetime
to lose
these things
for good —
So
what is
the soul
allowed
to keep
I wonder?

Latest Book Review Podcast

On air with Nancy and Nate

CommuterLit editor and publisher Nancy Kay Clark (left) has a book review podcast with her young adult son Nathan Bennet (right), called with radical clarity, Mom and Son Book Reviews. As they are both great fans of sci fi and speculative fiction, they concentrate on reviewing novels, short-story collections and graphic novels, both new and not-so-new, in those genres. Listen to the latest podcast.
