Parent

You owe it to yourself (or, if you don’t trust yourself, you owe it to me) to read “Parent” over at The Writer’s Almanac. Better yet, let Garrison Keillor read it to you. It is a particularly amazing poem (for me), and I find myself near tears. Lovely. So lovely. Here: Parent. Also, subscribe to The Writer’s Almanac podcast. It’s worth it. Every day.
