Kathleen Buckland

Kathleen Buckland is a photographer from Glenview, IL, who frequently posts wonderful photographs on Facebook.

Donna Hilbert — The Green Season

09/20/2012 By Ellen Beals

The Green Season O sweet morning-- coffee on the patio, the Sunday Times spread between us, red geraniums in the window box, a dog at your feet. Stop, Love. Don't move. Don't even breathe. I wish us fixed this way, cups raised the green season before us. ©  Donna Hilbert, 2009 & 2011 This poem is used with permission and appears in The Green Season by Donna Hilbert (World Parade Books, 2011) Donna Hilbert was born in the … [Read more...]

We had a mild winter and early spring and summer so I guess that is why fall seems to be coming a little early too.  We've been treated to some gorgeous days. Since my last blog, I've heard from Constance Vogel Adamkiewicz to tell me her poems "Drought" and "Stone" were published on Little Eagle's RE/VERSE website. "Drought" was published September 11, 2012.  "Stone" was published February 20, 2012. "Drought" is ominous: "Someday from the lemur-eyes of gas masks,/ we … [Read more...]

Somehow it’s September. What’s new with Solace contributors?

09/06/2012 By Ellen Beals 1 Comment

I gotta lotta reasons for not writing the blog recently. Summer is ending. A household project is starting. The conventions are on. But you know the real reason is that sometimes I am just lazy. But contributors to Solace in So Many Words haven't been lazy. T. C. Boyle has a story "Birnam Wood" in The New Yorker (September 2, 2012 issue). Joe Meno is interviewed in TriQuarterly (June 17, 2012). Philip Levine has a poem "How to Get There" in February issue of Poetry, and … [Read more...]
