Pauletta Hansel lives in Cincinnati, and today's poem is from her book “Palindrome,” from Dos Madres Press in Loveland, Ohio.
It's a collection of poems about her mother's dementia, and although there have been many individual poems about that subject, by many poets, I know of no other book by just one poet that so completely and artfully sums up the emotions associated with that painful deterioration.
The View from There
Where in the world
does my mother go, eyes
shut so tight her lower lashes
curl in toward a view
that's hers alone?
Yesterday she told
me—after the rains, the winds
came, and this morning
that's what they do.

The concert begins at 7 p.m.
Misner & Smith’s music is a combination of soaring vocal harmonies, extremely tight instrumental arrangements, and story-filled, poetic songwriting.
The duo’s sound harkens back to the bedrock of American rock & folk, but the diversity of styles and genres are one of the things that set them apart.
They can shake the walls like a freight train and then quiet the room to a whisper in a single song.
Hailing from Northern California, Misner & Smith’s concert will offer “some of the most electrifying music on the scene today,” according to concert organizer Michael Richeson.
Tickets are $15 and are available in advance at Watershed Books in Lakeport, at www.uuclc.org and a few at the door. There is limited seating.
The concert is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County and hosted by Fore Family Wines.
