Blessi's Poem is Published

Crepe and Penn Literary Magazine included my poem "If a Pony Penned a Poem."  Guess who was the inspiration?  You can read it on page 66 at the following link.

Blessi also asked me to remind everybody that a peanut is a poem to a pony.

Corvid Queen to Publish "The Night Troll"

Up until the past hundred years, most Icelandic horses had to survive on their own over the white, perishing Icelandic winters. Who knows what they saw under the white moon over Iceland?   I wrote a poem "The Night Troll" using that motif.  Corvid Queen is publishing it in January 2020.

In the meantime, here's some lovely film footage of Iceland at night under the moon.  Jakobina Ragnhildur sings "Moonlight Shadow" in Icelandic.  

"Why Do We Write" Published

Page and Spine Showcase published my essay about why authors write.  As Anne Lemott explains, good writing is "telling the truth in an interesting way" which is hard, hard, hard to do "like bathing cats."  Yet still we persist.
