Very proud & honored to have FIVE #poems in the newest issue of Bellowing Ark. They published my 1st 2 #poetry collections under Robert Ward, & now the talented Jerry Austin is at the helm.

Humbled my #poem "Math Quiz" was accepted in Moonstone Arts Center's "Betrayed: Violence Against Women" anthology. A small teaser of the first few lines of the poem (with alt text), for those wondering how a math quiz could possibly be related to such a heavy topic.

Sign at the channel Islands national Park. They ask you to report “any signs or other information that are negative about either past or living Americans or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes and other natural features.” 🙄 so no mentioning American history.
