nne Miner wouldn’t advocate putting ground glass in anyone’s food, but it worked for her great-grandmother Isabelle.
“Isabelle ‌ fed her husband ground glass instead of sugar and watched him die/because she was sick of how bourbon made him mistake her for prey,â€? she wrote in her poem “Wicked Women.â€? Drawing inspiration from family stories her mother told her, Miner, a SUNY Oneonta senior, wrote the
poem and took first prize – beating 250 entries from 23 countries and 13 states – in LEAF’s third annual “High On Life� Art & Poetry Contest. “It was an explosion of poetry,� said Carol Mandigo, who coordinated the Friday, April 26, event at CANO’s Wilber Mansion. Please See LEAF, A3
