![Excerpt from poem entitled "The Purse" by Chandra Tyler Mountain:
I coveted her purse.
It was cute.
It was black.
It was Coach.
[…]
I later learned
what she discovered sooner:
this cute little thing—
a purse too small—
was a grand gift after all—
teaching her how
to let the unnecessary go.
The full poem can be found in the Stafford 2025-26 Anthology.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zcmuo35r6dfox6a66fjceqfv/bafkreigayzxia7tnvliw5bwqyxy6yebq22rq2urmeasrn3tl6vrh3zf7sm)
