Blog Tour stops here

Susan Perry who has a great blog on creativity (Creating in Flow) at the Psychology Today site asked me to participate in a Blog Tour.  It’s a way to introduce you to my writing process and two or three other creative people (I feature two).

Wally Swist who contributed “March Wind” to Solace in So Many Words has a new book out – it is called Velocity and is published by the Virtual Artists Collective. Here’s how the book is described: “These poems offer a distinct sense of gratitude and tribute: the spiritual connectedness experienced in constructing stone sculptures or in stacking a cord of wood; and the simplicity found in the shine of a Shaker wide-plank oak floor or the experience of loss in a favorite … [Read more...]

Each monthly issue explores a single theme from a variety of … [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...]
