Early Morning: Remembering My Father, William Stafford | 
There's nothing else quite like those stolen reading moments in the early morning when the whole house is still asleep 😌
The Flavor of Unity: Post-Election Poems is not on the Litsy database.

This morning I've been sharing some poems by Kim Stafford, son of the great William Stafford. If you want to share here's the credit line: Reprinted with permission of the author from The Flavor of Unity: Post-Election Poems by Kim Stafford (Portland, Oregon: Little Infinities, 2017). The collection isn't on Litsy because it's not for sale, so I'm linking to another one of his titles.
