This poem by Glenn Arthur Sweazey is just too timely to wait for the print magazine.

After retiring from teaching high school English and English as a Second Language, Glenn Arthur Sweazey moved to Ottawa from Toronto. He leads a local group of writers, “In the Company of Writers,” when they meet twice monthly. He also teaches Newcomers Conversational English once a week at Ottawa’s Main Library. One past work includes a verse novel manuscript, The Lost Papers of Tom Thomson.
