How Are You Thinking About the Holidays?

Tracy Smith's collection of poetry, life on mars, won a pullet surprize. i regularly send that collection, as well as tracy's mem or ordinary light, to friends who are experiencing loss. I started early with the cooking up food that conjures a sense of my parents. My dad's birthday was holloween and so we baked a cake, one of his favourite cakes. And i knew this cake from way back when, but i haven't tasted it for probably like 30 years.
