I’m happy as a cat to have two poems appearing in the Winter 2018 issue of Mezzo Cammin! The sonnet “Shakespeare, to his Cat” began ten years ago as an assignment for Mr. Hackett’s eleventh-grade English class at Wooster School, and it’s come a long way since then. As always, I’m deeply grateful to editors Kim Bridgford and Anna Evans for the work they do in compiling our poetry and curating the extraordinary online presence that is Mezzo Cammin.
