Dave Read writes and reads

As I see it, poetry is a continual dialogue between poets and posterity. Even when more light than heat, poetry can ease the darkness as we seek useful responses to the myriad quandaries of life.

Oswego Suite

More than fifty years since moving away from hometown Oswego, NY, I’m delighted to present two Oswego poems, one titled Blue Ontario Read Oswego, the other titled History is Current at Oswego. The first one describes Oswego as I flowed through childhood there, the second one describes Oswego as I’ve read history flow through it.
