New Year Poems
I could never get my Chanukah and/or Christmas cards
out in time, so I started sending cards for the new year instead. Then
I decided I liked it better—non-partisan, metaphorically rich. In
1980, I drew this picture,
and used it as my card. The next year, I wrote a poem, illustrated it,
and that became the card. Over the years, these yearly missives have
become very precious to me, the emotional read-outs of my year in
poetry and picture—the closest I’ll ever get to one of those xeroxed
"what I did this year" letters.
