Editorial Spotlight

For the Welfare of Your Soul from Fall 2006

“But . . . but . . . I . . . want to show you something,” Katie says quietly. I have embarrassed her. She shows me a miniature Book of Mormon. Perfect for an eight-year-old to love. I finger the pages and listen to her tell me how her inactive grandmother found it when they were starting to paint. Katie asked if she could have it, and her grandmother obliged. The first person she wanted to tell about her new book was me, and I had yelled at her before she could show me.

Duh.

9 February 2008 @ 02:21 | Slice of Life | 4 Comments

It took Devin awhile to adjust to being away from home when he started kindergarten, and it always made him feel safer if he saw his big brother during the day.  At lunch one afternoon, just before leaving for kindergarten, Devin prayed that he would see Patrick at recess.  When I picked the boys up [...]

An Honor to Be There

3 February 2008 @ 02:39 | Small Epiphanies | 11 Comments

I’ve attended many funerals in my life. Far too many, really. Before I’d reached my 13th birthday, I’d already attended the funerals of my father, my older brother, and three of my grandparents. Since then, I’ve been to countless other funerals. Some, like the services for my teenage cousin and the [...]

Haiku Away!

5 April 2007 @ 23:10 | Announcements | 16 Comments

It’s National Poetry Month and here at Segullah we’re celebrating by hosting another poetry challenge. We were delighted by the response to our limerick contest in March and would now like to put out a call for haikus.
To refresh your memory, a haiku is a very short poem consisting of 17 syllables divided into [...]

At Segullah, we are always on the lookout for good poetry to publish. So, what exactly is good poetry? I think most of us are better at enjoying it than defining it, but here are three of my favorite attempts, all from the poet, Carl Sandburg:
“Poetry is the opening and closing of a [...]

Left or Right? Paper or Plastic? Blood or Milk?

Blood and Milk
I dreamed of Oxford . . .
          (spires, a thousand spires, endless lectures, musty halls
          a solitary self in a Bodleian expanse
          A good life my dear Wormwood. An orderly life.)
then awakened to laundry
          and things to be wiped
          (countertops, noses, bottoms)
How did this happen? And when, exactly?
