My poem in Allegro Poetry Magazine

A big thank you to Allegro Poetry Magazine for publishing my poem in their March 2026 issue. The magazine displays the poetry in a list and I'm sure you'll enjoy reading the various poems sitting above mine, but if you want to go straight to my work, you need to either do a search using my name Rosalind, or scroll down about three-quarters of the way through the list.

The poem is called A Chat with Marguerite Patten. It was originally called A Chat with Florence Greenberg, a Jewish cookery book writer from the 1950s/60s, but I wasn't sure people would know who she was, so I tweaked it just a bit before submitting it. 

The magazine can be viewed at the following link:  Allegro Poetry Magazine

The poem was inspired by an online poetry workshop that I attended several years ago. We were asked to find something that meant a lot to us and then write down a conversation that we might have with that object. What I love about those kinds of workshops is that my mind always seems to produce words that I didn't know were there.
