Much gratitude to Editor A.E. Bayne for including a short stack of my poems in the current issue of FLAR! They include: “Even the Penny Shows Wear,” “Taiya” and “Serendipitous.” All three are writings worked on last summer during my time at Alderworks Artists & Writers Retreat in Dyea, Alaska. Anyway, FLAR is a lovely journal in which to home some writing, but to also savor when the print copy arrives as it is full of wonder in both art and written form.
