Joanne Grumet

My chapbook GARDEN OF EVE was published by Finishing Line Press in 2020. My poetry has appeared online and in print journals and anthologies. My songs and poems were featured on the cable TV show THE SONG, out of south Deerfield, Massachusetts, and my music can be heard at reverbnation.com/Summerwind.

“In the Valley,” “Reflections,” and “A Spat”

I walk north where garlic mustard grows
with heart-shaped leaves,
clusters of tiny white stars.

Their slender stalks border a trail
into the woods
past a brook where the deer drink.
