This week the weather is miserably cold in Chicago. Schools and businesses are closed. Anyone who can hibernate is hibernating.
I am happy to feature photographs by a new contributor: Kevin Nance. If you recognize his name, it may be because you read his reviews in the Chicago Tribune, or his contributions to Poets & Writers and other publications. That’s how I knew him. But then through posts on FB and Linked-in, I saw his photographs and admired them. Now I follow him on Tumblr and Twitter too. I am grateful to Kevin for letting me share his work here.
Posted as a guest blog today is a poem by Laura Rodley, a writer whose poem “Resurrection” won a Pushcart Prize. It was originally published in The New Verse News. Publishing a new poem daily, The New Verse News presents politically progressive poetry on current events and topical issues. Submissions are sought so check it out.
You may recognize Laura’s name from previous posts on this site (such as, “Fresh from the Vine,” “Coyotes,” and”Montague City Road“)–I am always happy (and proud) to share her work.
Thanks to Laura and Kevin for warming up this spot with their work.
Peace, love, and solace
