Margaret Atwood is a storyteller at heart. Enter into these poems thinking of them more as short stories and less as poems. Then it's like little flash fiction gumdrops.

Themes include climate change, aging, and sci-fi.

BTW, did anyone else see a woman who looked a lot like Margaret Atwood at Biden's inauguration? She was wearing a black coat and red scarf and had the same hair. I looked on Twitter but no one could confirm, though others also had the same question.

Food pairing: lavender black tea and an almond scone. Treat yourself & take it easy while you still can.
