Sun sears a winter sky
sets it afire
flares in the west
before it settles down
for the night
sets it afire
flares in the west
before it settles down
for the night

About Me

- Elaine Magliaro
- I worked as an elementary school teacher for more than three decades and as a school librarian for three years. I also taught a children's literature course at Boston University from 2002-2008. I served on the advisory board of the Keene State College Children’s Literature Festival from 2006-2008 and as a member of the NCTE Poetry Committee from 2009-2012. "Things to Do," my first children's book, won the 2018 Margaret Wise Brown Prize in Children's Literature and a 2018 Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor Award.

I love the contrast of heat and winter, both in the photo and your poem.
