Poetry, rye whiskey, the beach, and occasionally a good cigar.

Still deciding how to use Bluesky. For now, just poetry that has been previously published in journals or books, written by me or others, with permission of the poets (or their editors).
WANTED! Poems about peace (including wartime fears, hopes, challenges, dreams) for the 2025 POETS FOR PEACE anthology. This year’s project was inspired by Ukrainian poet Ihor Pavlyuk’s keynote address at the 2024 National Federation of State Poetry Societies annual convention. (See attached flyers.)

Repost as desired. Open submissions for Sunflowers Rising: Peace Poems Anthology. The purpose is to raise funds for an orphanage in Ukraine. Sponsored by National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NFSPS). Any poet anywhere in the world can submit.

My inaugural post, with additional posts probably monthly, at least until I better understand the pros and cons of Bluesky.
