Miss Rosie
Poem: "Miss Rosie," by Lucille Clifton, from Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980 (BOA Editions).
It's the birthday of novelist and short story writer, FLANNERY O'CONNOR, born in Savannah, Georgia in 1925.
It's the anniversary of the TRIANGLE SHIRTWAIST FIRE, in 1911, New York, when 146 women died when a fire broke out in the garment factory where they worked.

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®
