Default Marybeth Rua-Larsen in Mass Poetry Spotlight

The folks at Mass Poetry highlight a different Massachusetts poet each month, and this month it's Marybeth Rua-Larsen with a lovely sonnet in tetrameter couplets. Here's the link.

Many thanks for noting this, Nausheen! I was so pleased and honored. I'm sad to miss the MA Poetry Festival again this year, but it's always the same weekend as my daughter's dance competition in Fitchburg, and she wins every time. Some day soon I hope to get back there.

And thank you, Marcia and Martin for the well-wishes! They are much appreciated.

Mary Beth, Congratulations on this honor. The list sonnet is beautiful and the ending couplet is powerful. I also love your quote. Kudos!

Jean, Siham, Catherine and Wendy -- thank you! This is one of the few publications of mine that has prompted fan notes and friend requests on Facebook from writers I've long admired, so it's been especially gratifying!
