Happy publication day to Lee Upton's literary mystery, WRONGFUL! John Baum in Necessary Fiction: "On the surface, this is a playful novel, but its heft comes from questions about art, reading, writing, and the darker side of human nature.”  https://www.saggingmeniscus.com/catalog/wrongful/

An elegy for my sisters. I think of them always with unending love.

So grateful this poem was accepted. We should all dance at receptions. Not just sit there like this little man.
