Much of what’s been on my writer’s mind this past week regards last summer: a summer in which, while hugely pregnant with new life, I confronted the dying and deaths of an uncle and grandma whom I loved very much. Written in honor of my godfather and late Uncle Greg, who died after a brief bout with lung cancer, here’s a poem, “Lake Silverthorn,” published this week in the University of Virginia School of Medicine’s journal Hospital Drive, http://news.med.virginia.edu/hospitaldrive/2013/07/25/lake-silverthorn/.
