One of the highlights of 2025 was being invited to create an essay for the Yale Class of 1975 book, which was published last spring.  Writing the essay was a very good creative exercise, as it required talking about fifty years of life experience in a one-page essay.  Because Nazar's Journey had been published in 2024, I was able to show a photo of the cover of my first book in the essay and also to make reference to a new book - an illustrated Christmas story set in Vermont-scheduled to be published later this year by Austin Macauley.  My classmates had also given us the opportunity to select a favourite poem and comment on it, so I chose one by Gerard Manley Hopkins.  

I am pleased to share the essay and the poem with you here
