Special Selection for the 2022/2023 Winter Holiday Issue
Poetry by Jennifer L. Gauthier
In the rain the sleet the snow
the willow bends low
and deep
bowing
like a monk in prayer.
She bends but does not
break.
Her strength is in her
supple
limbs stretching.
Jennifer L. Gauthier is a professor of media and culture at Randolph College in Southwestern Virginia. She has poems published in Tiny Seed Literary Journal, South 85, Gyroscope Review, Nightingale & Sparrow, The Bookends Review, little somethings press, HerWords Magazine and Tofu Ink Arts Press.
