After the Winter Olympics are Over: Cena/Dinner
Cortina d'Ampezzo, where the Winter Olympics took place, has extraordinary cuisine never found in the Italian restaurants in Columbus. But I cook it at home. Crowned with Casunziei, or beet ravioli with poppy seeds, there will be other courses from the cuisine, including duck breast, cheeses and a cranberry dessert
Very nicely refinished chair with a new well-woven cane seat. 34” height with solid joints . A comfortable and charming little lady for your hallway or that empty corner in any room needing a touch of nostalgia.

Poem in letterpress on 11x14" handmade paper...a beautiful combination!
This poem, Flight Patterns in Pandemic, is printed in letterpress, with letters and images of bird silhouettes in flight. The author, Nora Snyder, is "a poet, performer, organizer, collector, and free-range librarian." These are the words of the poem: I'm thinking about my grocery list./ I'm not thinking about having no friends./ I'm thinking about what to have for dinner./ I'm not thinking about my husband's silence./ I'm thinking about which book to read next./ I'm not thinking about my daughter miles away in the desert./ I'm thinking about the sound it makes when a flock of birds takes off at the same time./ I'm not thinking about the water stains and peeling paint./ I'm thinking about the relative status of my laundry pile./ I'm not thinking about clubs over skulls and blood in the streets./ I'm thinking about which car I should take. I'm safe but I'm also sorry./ I'm safe but I make a sound./ I'm safe but it doesn't come first. I want to burn things./ Prescriptions and diagnoses./ Bills and advertisements./ Credit cards empty of promise./ I want to burn them all./ I want them to billow and struggle./ And choke me with their acrid exhales./ I want the wind to take their flaming remnants./ And extinguish them with brutal swiftness./ I want to burn things. I'm thinking about the sound it makes when a flock of birds takes off at the same time./ I'm thinking about the sound it makes when a flock of birds takes off at the same time. I will bring the work to church or deliver to winner within a 15 mile radius of the church.
