The cover of Channel by Barbara Jordan which shows a B&W photo of a natural history diaroma with two leopards eating a peacock in the jungle.
One of the best things about poetry is how well it ages.
"Language is what we feed on, feeling each 'vowel's velvet'..."

I'm loving @niallpoetry.bsky.social new collection.
The poem, Island Sonnets: Eriskay, is stunning.
"the smell of smoke's hour, before any candle's lit."

Museums and libraries, two of my favorite places, are under siege from Trump.
Funding cuts will mean fewer poetry books, so we #poets have to step up. Here's a list of the books our open mic donations bought.

Constantly Losing is a poem featured in my latest book Bleak Pages, available on Amazon & KU #poetry #poem #books #poetryreads
I bought this book in New Brunswick this summer.
I'm glad I waited to read it to have a better appreciation of the craft of assemblage poems having just written one.
This book has so much to say about the 'west', native peoples, gender and our environment.
Worth a read.

I'm spending my extra time off for the holiday week reading new poetry like this one from Denise Duhamel, who I know through #writersinparadise.
All women have been the "in which I..." woman, so there's much to enjoy.
