Once again we have Kathleen Buckland to thank for this Glimpse of Solace. The Glenview, IL, photographer (originally from Northport, NY) loves to travel and to visit the Chicago Botanic Gardens and other spots where she can enjoy the beauty of nature.

Updates: Kirk, Mahan, Kerlikowske, McConnell and more
I can't always keep up with Kathleen Kirk's publications because there seem to be so many (YAY!). Here are her latest placements. She has two poems, "Blackberry Moon" and "Cusp," in Eclectica. Lines from "Cusp" that made me think: "just as the word 'cusp' / refers to either point on the crescent moon, / neither of which is really there, both created by / the shadow of the earth, the reflection of the sun."
