I’m pleased to announce that Volume 3 of The Short of It Anthology, Natures Discovered, is now available for purchase at Amazon. This volume features a few of my poems, as did the previous two.
And I’m very proud to announce that Susi Bocks, editor and anthologist of The Short of It, has chosen to nominate my poem, First Thing in the Morning, for the Pushcart Prize. Thank you, Susi! I’m humbled and honored.
