I was the nostalgia

I WAS THE NOSTALGIA by Michelle Overby

020

 

This book is like walking in the moonlight, the memory of night swimming in a dark lake, the way the rain rolls down the window. 

Two Plum Press released Michelle's first book, I Stayed Up Listening in 2014. 

Michelle Overby has been keeping a daily poetry blog called the rose and the apple for some time now. 

 

excerpts:

 

watching
thistle
seeds
ride
the
winds
since
1980
and
not
before
 

I
was
wondering
where
I
was
and
then
I
looked
up
at
the
moon
and                                                                                       knew

 

my
childhood
was
in
the
sky
above
me
my
future
somewhere
in
the
land
