Two Anthologies

Posted on 2022-01-17 by Bartholomew Barker

This past week saw two new anthologies appear in my mailbox.

The first to arrive was the latest from Vita Brevis Press, Nothing Divine Dies— The Poetry of Nature. The editor, Brian Geiger, was gracious enough to include one of my poems, Mulberries of the Piedmont.

A day later, Core, the third volume of Dance Poems from Johnny M. Tucker, Jr. appeared. He agreed to reprint Butterflies of the Amazon, a poem first published in my collection, Wednesday Night Regular. He also included two others from WNR in his second volume, Allegro & Adagio.

I’ve been enjoying both anthologies and am proud to be included in each.

    It’s a great feeling holding a book in hand and reading the printed art.

    Although I have many books on my kindle, I still love the smell and feel of an actual book, especially poetry books. Well done in getting your poetry published in 2 antholigies. ❤❌❤
