I’m very happy to report that my granddaughter, Emily Vittitow, has produced a book of poetry, butcher, seamstress, gardener, nearly at the same time I completed Guam and Other Islands: A Miscellany. “After a yearslong hiatus from writing poetry, Emily wrote butcher, seamstress, gardener, during a tumultuous period in her life in 2023; She pared down close to a hundred poems to the 42 contained in this collection. butcher, seamstress, gardener will take you through the poet’s journey as she struggles with her health, questions the life she’s built, and, ultimately, works to forgive herself and move forward.”

Her book of poems is available on Amazon.
