When my son’s cockatiel died a couple of weeks ago (when his wife was out of town!), I listened to some songs with bird sounds in an attempt to aid in compassion. I locked in on Jerry Strickland’s All The Little Birds in Apple Music. It’s a balm to me.

As always, your poem was incredible! And I laughed till I cried listening to the autocorrect story. 🤣

Beautiful poem, Erin. I read "Room" years ago and didn't love it, so I'm not surprised that her other book is disturbing! Last week I flew through two books! "Summer Romance" and "The Wedding People." Summer Romance is a perfect light hearted read!
