Some links to today's wonderful event at Rooted in Wellness- first public readings from "Saluda Reflections", coming soon from Finishing Line Press. 

Interesting Article from the Guardian- UK

   Jimmy Santiago Baca' story impressed me the most. I read him when I lived in New Mexico, but the influence of Wordsworth is simply amazing.

Sorry to post this. I am at an age when I am especially youched by the death of anyone youngeer than I am.  She has a great talent and intensity.

The first link is from one of my collections, and the second from the Beeb. 

Working on a fourth manuscript

    A publisher wanted something new, and Accents may not qualify. So I am making a rough manuscript. Good thing I had a file ready for such a purpose!

    My thanks to Al Black for inviting me to this venue. Since then, I actually have thought to doing some yoga to help my back.   Hmmmm.

    Now to decide on my three-to-five poems to read.
