Christine Andersen

Christine Andersen is a retired dyslexia specialist who now has the time to hike daily in the Connecticut woods with her five hounds, pen and pad in pocket. These are good years of freedom and reflection. Her publications include the Comstock, Awakenings, Evening Street, Octillo and Gyroscope Reviews, Glimpse, The Dewdrop, Coneflower Cafe and Slab, among many others. She won the 2023 American Writers Review Poetry Contest and the 2024 Lee Maes Memorial Award #1 in the National Poetry Day Contest of Massachusetts.

“Streetlight,” “Sudden Branch Syndrome,” and “Clock”

I would wake and watch
from my bedroom window
as the snow fell in a waterfall of white
under the glow of the streetlight,
a suburban beacon shining
on my narrow side road.
