“Pink” has been published in Adventitious Sounds: a chapbook for medical practitioners, learners and poets (League of Canadian Poets). Edited by Zamina Mithani.
The poem draws on my experience working as a young northern nurse.

“The man
makes his escape
through the back
door and out there
is nothing but…”
“Pink” was previously published in Field Guide to the Lost Flower of Crete (McGill-Queen’s University Press).
Congratulations! I didn’t know you were a nurse for a time.
Yes, my past life 🙂
This is great news! And I love that photo of you❤️
Thank you Phyllis.
