Bill Cushing: Bill Cushing has retired after more than 20
years of teaching college English in the Los Angeles area.
Now he fills his time by writing, reading, and of course,
editing what he has written. His poem this month is actually
one of his earlier pieces but seems fitting for the season; it
is part of his 2019 book A Former Life. The illustration
accompanying the work is one of the lesser-known pieces
from one of Bill's favorite artists, Salvador Dali.
