As I see it, poetry is an eternal dialogue between people and posterity. Even when more light than heat, poetry still lightens the darkness while we seek useful responses to the myriad quandries of life.
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 Oswego’s History is Current. The first one describes the Oswego I knew as a child and boy, the other seeks to reconcile Oswego as history flows through it.
