So last week when I said I gave you the latest, well, I missed a few things.  At the reading at Woman Made Gallery I spoke with a woman in the audience and she said "March Wind" by Wally Swist was her favorite poem, and I could see why. … [Read more...]

I've been putting off writing this blog, concentrating instead on the holidays and goofing off. But I wanted to tell you what the contributors have been up to because they have been busy.  And, I wanted to tell you the latest about Solace in So Many Words even though I haven't been busy, exactly.
