(haiku)

by Don Wentworth

calling across

the alley, window to window –

mourning doves

Don Wentworth’s work reflects his interest in the revelatory nature of brief, numinous moments in everyday life. He is the author of 3 full-length poetry collections from Six Gallery Press. Forthcoming books include collections of ghazals from Low Ghost Press and haiku from Lascaux Editions.

City of Asylum believes that All Pittsburghers are Poets. With the Poem of the Week series, we seek to increase the readership and appreciation of poetry locally by publishing poems written by residents of Allegheny County of all ages and levels of experience. In partnership with the Poetry Editors at Sampsonia Way Magazine, City of Asylum advances our mission to defend, celebrate, and build on creative freedom of expression. This project received a RADical ImPAct Grant from the Allegheny Regional Asset District (RAD).
