About This Poem

 

"When my partner was pregnant with our son I would sometimes be away from home on tour for my first book. Evening FaceTime sessions once I got back to the hotel room were the highlights of each day, and made being away from home a bit more bearable. Much is made about the ways technology can compromise or fracture human relationships, but I think often of the remarkable opportunities that technology has afforded us to be closer to those we love in ways we could never have previously imagined."
—Clint Smith
