ABOPABOW returns from its leave

with a link to a great poem by Stacie Cassarino. ABOPABOW took a leave as the holidays came. I'm back, and so are the posts. So, if you haven't read "Spoon to the Sky" yet, make your trip on over to Poetry Daily and check it out. Cassarino has written a great poem that captures both the chill and the warmth of isolation (weird, yes; but trust me, there is warmth here) in one's life (self-imposed and otherwise). She's also used carefully placed unstressed syllables and consonant sounds to craft lines that feel like breathing in the winter chill--look at those h's and w's.
