#tanka publication: “Over the River to Grandmother’s House We Go”

Posted on by Liz Gauffreau

I’m pleased to share that my tanka, “Over the River to Grandmother’s House We Go,” has been published in the July 2022 issue of First Literary Review-East.

Like “Candia, New Hampshire, 1926: Velma,” this poem  was published without its companion piece:

Our Other Grandmother

who is this person
never leaves her chair
black maid welcomes us
cooks, tells us funny stories
eats in the kitchen alone

  3. This hit home with me, Liz. Yes, the maid ate in the kitchen alone. She also took care of the children and most everything else. Many of us were lucky to have her as our mother hen. One of my Jennie Stories includes our maid, and I have to explain what a maid is. Congratulations!
