Nerd grief

[mrissa]

 

My poem Object Permanence is in Analog magazine's Sept/Oct issue, and also featured on their website for the next two months.

A lot of writing about grief, including my writing about grief, is inspired by the loss of our nearest and dearest. This is not that, this is the next circle out--my dear little old great-aunt Bets, my ex-boyfriend's delightful father Marc, all those whose pathways through the world were joys just one notch more distant from mine...until the day they weren't, and I miss them still, in their own way.

Which is, of course, still a very nerdy way.

If stocks in the corporation that makes Kleenex rise precipitately, you will know why.

Nerdy grief poems are the best ones.
