I just got home from an all-night card game after a Monday Night Football tailgate party. I can’t say how wonderful it was to play poker and read poetry at the same time.

When Persephone is a young maiden, Hades, the Greek god of the underworld spies her picking flowers in a field …

The female protagonists in Mary Akers’s collection of short stories, Women Up On Blocks, live maledominated lives. They feel trapped, yet are in the situations they are in because of decisions that they made during certain periods of their lives.
The first story, Medusa Song, begins as a story of child neglect:
She scrambles the eggs while the baby howls at her knees. To drown out the racket, she hums and jabs the fork into the yolks… then does a quick sidestep when the baby lunges for her knees.

**Paying Attention to Nature?
**Naturally Aware
**Paying Attention to Nature?**
Remember when you were a kid?
Back then, Nature was one of your
best friends.
It comforted you.
It entertained you for hours.
And it taught you so much about
yourself and the world.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a

friend, Nature.
Have you?
Humans are not being good to
her—and that’s putting it lightly.
It breaks my heart.
And like nearly everyone else I
know, instead of feeling helpless
in the face of environmental
degradation, I want to DO something.
We all …
