Regular readers of Atticus Review will recognize the name of Sandra Marchetti, either from pieces she’s published with us before, Liz Purvis’s review of her excellent debut collection, Confluence, or poems she’s published elsewhere (like these fine pieces in Split Lip Magazine). So we’re delighted to share an extra dose of pure Marchetti goodness this month.
Oh, and I also have to thank Sandra for patiently explaining to a certain ignorant editor (who looks a lot like me) that Pink Siris is not a typo but is, in fact, “one of many names of an invasive, yet beautiful plant taking over areas of East Tennessee.” I like learning things.
