This is such a great post. Before even commenting, I rushed to add Lucky Fish to my Amazon cart. I love the snippets of her work that you shared here. This line especially : "He was<br />starlight<br /> and samosa and every good thing." Wow! The sensory details in your brother's poem had me inhaling deeper, convinced I'd caught a whiff of chai, rich earth, and rain.

She's going to the Phiipines this summer and I think this will be just the thing to bind the anxiety and the joy she finds in the trip. What a delightful birthday yours has been for the rest of us. Thank you! <br />Snapping fingers to your brother.....you all got some writing chops in your family.

Love your brother's poem -- the sensory details and images are so lush and rich. "Memories packed in a green box" says it all.

I have discovered chai in my adulthood and will also look for your special brand, wondering if I can find it? Your brother's poem is full of your life, too, so it must be terrific to have and read. I love those 'memories, packaged in a green box'.
