My poem “Cantatrice” just got published in Encore (January 2025 issue) on page 28. This poem is about my friend’s daughter when she was a toddler and was acting up a bit in a restaurant. My friend is a choral conductor, so that is why I use musical imagery in the poem. I wrote it in 1979. The poetry editor of Encore is Margaret DeRitter. I’m happy to have this poem published after so many years of sending it out. #poetry #lyricpoetry #children #music
