Around Town – May 30, 2019
to Courtney McDermott whose poem, “Self-acceptance,” appeared in the Burlington Free Press Young Writers Project on May 17. The author compares a personal existence to the beginning of spring. “It crept up slowly, I could barely hear its hollowed footsteps. It crept up as softly as April creeps up.” The author says about herself and the world, “You are not broken any more than a crocus just beginning to bloom is broken.” And as spring days last longer, so do our pleasures from other human beings.
