Mark Seidl used to lament the lack of dogwood trees in New York’s Hudson Valley, where he lives and works as a special collections librarian. In the spring of 2013, however, he saw dogwoods in full bloom all over the place. Now he has to find a new object for his lamentations. His work has appeared in several print and online journals, including Alice Blue Review, Birdfeast, Treehouse, and Thunderclap.
