Poetry by Jeannette Tien-Wei Law
Frost flakes, Yule tide, blink lights glow
Dove haze, slab streets, wish for snow
Star child, sweep stacks, coal smudge face
Sky blush, Year dawns, white spot doe
Jeannette Tien-Wei Law grew up celebrating the holidays with her family in St. Louis, Missouri. Festive dinners often touted steamed rice and stir-fried broccoli alongside the roasted turkey and traditional trimmings. Jeannette now makes her own stuffing with apricots, wine and Italian sausage as an international educator living in Milan.
