Moonlight Bay’s radio station, KBAY, is entirely a fictional enter
prise. The real KBAY is located in Santa Cruz, California, and none of

Louise Ghick. The title of the poem is “Lullaby,” and it appears in
Ms. Ghick’s wonderful and moving Ararat.

to spend a lot more time with them in the years to come. -DK
