To those who read or even glance at our poetry pages, I hope you will take the time to read carefully the essay, “Pearls from Tears” by Arlene Kramer Richards.

For the past few winters, my teaching schedule has me reading Anna Freud’s monograph, The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense at around the same time that I come  across the Christmas classic, Miracle on 34th Street.
