Twenty-Three Reasons My Mother Died
|
A hobby farmer sets out to exact revenge after his dog gets caught in a foothold trap by someone illegally trapping on his land in Kara McKeever’s “Traps.” Clayton Bradshaw-Mittal chronicles an abusive childhood and what inspired him to push back in four poems including “West Texas History Lesson.” And Navneet Bhullar explores cause, effect, and responsibility in “Twenty-Three Reasons My Mother Died.”
