Meritage Press' Minitage Editions is delighted to share Where I Write, a poetry book with drawn illustrations by Lori Desrosiers! We feature the poem below along with some pages from the book:

Where I Write

I.

Today
I typed
for a long time.

When I looked
up a moment,
I was lost.

II.

When
I lose myself
in my poems

Sometimes
I’m no longer
in this world.

And I have to
embody myself
again.



III.

If
you think
I’m giving up

poetry,
you’re
wrong.

IV.

The room
where I write
has a stove,

a yellow rug,
a chaise lounge,
and five cats

who
walk in
and out.
