Two journals have recently published work
from the completed manuscript
The Solstice Book.
The poem “Mercy” was published by
Issue 24 — Winter 2024
on the solstice.
Here’s the opening:
Mercy
What's been lost follows me up
the
mountain. A lone crow
somewhere on the trail ahead. His
voice, all
gravel and rags…
You can find it here.
*****************************
And three poems,
“Lost”, “Found”, and “The Immense Night”
were published
on Christmas Day by Soul Forte,
Issue 6.
You can find the poems here.
Here’s the opening of "The Immense Night"
1.
Who sits by the window, waiting for something to appear?
Waiting for a new, sudden star, from nebulae gas, from
night’s hands, pressing shadows into new forms…
coming January 28th.
