Best Poem of 2017
I’m so happy to share that I recently received this award from the Lake Chapala publication, El Ojo del Lago, for the Best Poem of 2017. I am particularly pleased because the poem “Conchita at Lakeside,” (p 44 in link below) is a narrative about an elder who was my first local friend when I arrived last year, a woman whose presence every day under the eucalyptus trees has grounded my life here in Ajijic. I am truly grateful to El Ojo del Lago for the opportunity to share her story! And gracias to Joyce Wycoff, photographer extraordinaire.
Congratulations! Eye of the Lake? Pretty darn cool.
That is a great online magazine! Congratulations on the very beautiful poem. I like how, at the very end, it all vanishes just as Conchita does, including the poem.
Susa, it’s such a lovely poem. Congratulations on the award! I also very much
enjoyed getting a look at your community in the pages of the magazine…
I couldn’t figure out how to find the poem – which I’d very much like to read. Having loved poetry all my life and written a bit as well. Where do I go?
Congratulations! A beautiful poem – so carefully & lovingly observed.
Wonderful Susa !
