Perfect poem for the season by my poet friend, Kersten.

Cedar bark basket full of salmonberries spills out on a moss covered rock with the calm ocean in the background.

Salmonberries are saving me! So anxious about my daughter’s upcoming brain surgery next week that I can hardly function except lean into the berry bushes & pick pick pick pick.

the invisible poet in the land of invisibility Guest Post by John Compton

I looove this! “quit doing things because others do them. you're allowed to like the poet that hovers next to the sun, but in order to truly love poetry, find the poet who lives in the dwelling of the cave, where rarely the sun reaches.”

Yellow and red salmonberries tumble from a cedar basket on the beach in Southeast Alaska.

The problem with trying to publish poetry by an Alaskan (me)!about life in Alaska is the literary world’s disinterest. I get much of my food from the land & sea & I’ve been writing about that. Got a folio rejection & a chapbook rejection yesterday! Onward!

Small heart shaped rock is embedded in the sand on a southeast Alaskan beach. Rock is surrounded by other small rocks and barnacles. The tide has just gone out and the rocks are slick with rain & sea.

🌊 Every morning I walk on my beach looking for signs that there is goodness & love in the world. I found this heart rock set into the sand. 💙
