Open Books Poetry

  • Post author:

We meandered by Open Books on 45th St the other day and noticed that they had a new poem up in the window, this one obviously chosen for Veteran’s Day:

Omen of Victory
Women in uniform
relaxed for tea
under a shady garden tree
discover
a dove’s feather
fallen in the sugar.
— Mina Loy (Armistice Day, 11/11)

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
