Throwback: The Better Part of Some Time by Mike Madill

June 22, 2024 by Richard-Yves Sitoski

The Better Part of Some Time was a winner of the 2021 Don Gutteridge Award, and in it we find poems about missed opportunities, expectations as often defeated as realized, and tiny revelations and epiphanies amidst the difficulty of fulfilling family obligations.
