Congratulations to these writers. I'm very pleased that their works appeared in Blue Fifth Review.
The latest issue of Poets and Artists (Oranges & Sardines) is now live.
I have new work - five poems in that issue.
I have a couple of new poems at the latest Wild Goose Poetry Review (Fall 2009) - such a great venue.
“The more we try to catch hold of the present moment the more elusive it becomes. It is like trying to clutch water in one’s hands. The harder we grip, the more it slips through our fingers.” – Alan Watts
