When the Dog Gets Ready to Die

callout18

2017 has welcomed me with the publication of my first poem ever. It’s a great start to this new year. Thanks to Unbroken Journal for accepting this piece for inclusion in their first issue of 2017.

Dog in Snow: artwork for Randal Eldon Greene's prose poem "When the Dog Gets Ready to Die"

A reader from one of my Facebook writing groups was touched by my prose poem. This person had lost their dog recently and, though somewhat reluctant to read it, was glad that she did. While my dog actually survived the ordeal that this poem is based on, it took me many years before I could finally write about this heartbreaking night, one of the saddest moments of my life. I hope that those of you who have lost a pet will be moved by this poem, just as I was moved to tears years ago on that cold winter night.

callout16

I have a new essay up at StoryFinds about the joy of a having a first book published.

The Joy of a First Book: The joy of having a first book published is not like the joy of a first story appearing in print. With that first story, being published was joy and validation itself. Read the whole essay here.
