I’m not sure I can pinpoint, in words, the precise draw. Maybe it’s the exquisite cover imagery of light, dark, moments I want to walk through.

It might be that Naomi Shihab Nye publishes in the the San Pedro River Review and once, a poem of mine was published in the same issue as a poem of hers (!). Whatever it is, I absolutely love when my writing can find a home in the pages of SPRR. Thank you to editors Jeffrey Alfier and Tobi Alfier (Cogswell) for publishing “Blue-Black Night” in the current issue. This is my portal to spring.
