The current issue of Canarya literary journal of the environmental crisis, contains two of my poems. Here's one:


Whales at Night
by Marybeth Holleman
they come
after the day’s
fishing fleet
has gone to anchor
awaken us
with a sigh
that sounds human
but is whale-breath
the long exhale
after a deep dive
sprays dappling
concentric rings
left by their arcs
into air
on an otherwise
silent and glassy
sea
