Annmarie Lockhart, editor of vox poetica, has been reading and writing poetry since she could read and write. A lifelong Bergen County resident, she lives two miles from the hospital
where she was born.
Mildred Speidel's most recent poem to appear here was Killed by Kindness. Today's poem is also about loss, but from a different perspective on a different relationship.
