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

09/06/2012 By Ellen Beals 1 Comment

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...]

In 1984 Scott Colborn developed and began to host the Exploring Unexplained Phenomena radio show.  The program became a reality largely due to his long-time interest in all things paranormal--which can be traced back to his childhood.  Over the years, he has interviewed hundreds of guests covering a wide range of topics including extraterrestrials, big foot, spirituality, and ghosts . . . to name just a few.  He recently interviewed Carol Brody Fleet about her book on … [Read more...]

Susan Elbe

I first became familiar with the poetry of Susan Elbe through Kiss Me Goodnight (Syren Book Company) because we both had work in this anthology of writing by women who were girls when their mothers died.  Her poems in that book are: "My Mother Isn't Dead" and "At Mother's Bedside."  Now we are Facebook friends, and I enjoy her posts whether they are updates on the eagles' nest in Decorah, Iowa or more writerly items.  This Father's Day she posted "I Fly to My Father in Late … [Read more...]
