The journal Nashim has accepted my poem “Family Reunions” for its next issue. The poem is about growing up in Milwaukee and the closeness of my family and my mother’s twin brother’s family.
It is sad that my Aunt Ann, who is mentioned in the poem, died last week before I could tell her about this forthcoming publication. She had seen the poem a long time ago, however. Now both twins and their spouses are in Heaven.
The young children mentioned in this poem, Brandon, Jason, and Zach, are now adults, and there is a new generation of young cousins.
I wrote this poem in the 1990s.
