Gillian Parrish: "first offering"
This week we’re featuring a new poem by Gillian Parrish. Parrish’s poems have appeared in various journals, including American Letters & Commentary, Gulf Coast, and The Literary Review.
Author’s Note:
This poem was written January 1, having come through another Christmas with its deep love and old hurt. It’s a powerful time of year, the ending and beginning, the indeterminate heartache of home, the winter dark going gold into a blaze of richness—such wild light and dark we live between and rarely see so clearly as we can in the cold.
