A big thank you to the Burningword Literary Journal for accepting and publishing this new poem by Shutta: Madonna with Potatoes. It is a favorite of mine. I hope you like it too! It’s below, and here: bit.ly/3Lfk2Ui Leave a note here or at the journal if you like it! (Couldn’t help myself – – looking at all those old paintings the Christ Child looks like a large lumpy potato. Maybe, it’s just me.) There’s also a pic of my mom peeling potatoes that inspired the poem.
