Here is the backstory. Back in August 2012, I was interviewed by Betty Freeman about the publication of Write Wing Publishing's new anthology, "Surrounded: Living With Islands." Betty related that when she had been a newcomer to Whidbey, she was worried about getting lost. She was promptly reassured by friends and locals, don't worry, you're on an island. To my ear, this belonged in a poem. And so, "Advice" was born. Thanks, Betty, and thanks to WLM for publishing my poem. Enjoy!
