This month’s Contemporary American Voices features the poetry of Bruce Lader, my workshop fellow and friend. When they selected him to be the featured poet, they asked him to recommend a few other poets and I’m honored that I was among those he chose. Many thanks to Lisa Zaran at C.A.V. for publishing three of my pieces, “This is class warfare and we’re losing”, “Our Little Secret” and “A World Without Eyes” and to Bruce for letting me ride his coattails!
