Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s day to every mother in the world (at least each who celebrates it today). Yesterday, Justin Verlander pitched a no-hitter.  What type of mother wouldn’t be happy with that news for a Mother’s Day gift?

Halloween down Argentine way

by Stephen Page

For the Buenos Aires Herald

Yes, they celebrate the commercial Halloween here in Argentina (Oct 31st), but the original holiday, founded in Latin America, is called ‘All-Souls’ Day,’ and is celebrated on November 2nd.  On All Souls’ Day it is believed the souls of the departed visit their loved ones.  On this day, the living put flowers on the graves of their departed friends and family, and they put food out in their homes for the visiting souls to eat — though the food is not actually consumed the living believe the souls ingest the nutritional value of it.  If it is a cold evening, people lay out blankets to keep the souls warm while they visit.  Poets write epitaphs for their departed friends and relatives, humorous ones that poke fun.

Stephen Page holds BA in literature and writing from Columbia University an MFA from Bennington College. He is the author of, The Timbre of Sand, a book of poems, and Still Dandelions, a chapbook.
