Mark Irwin’s tenth collection of poetry, Shimmer, was recently published by Anhinga Press. He built a house outside Salida, Colorado, where he lives the best part of each year.
While building the larger house, he lived a very simple life / in the smaller house he’d built before, the house without / water or power, the 12 x 20 foot house with three windows
Mother came to visit today. We / hadn’t seen each other in years. Why didn’t / you call? I asked. Your windows are filthy, she said.
