Silkworm 13

Silkworm 13: Luck landed on my desk this fall. This journal is published by the Florence Poets Society out of Northampton, Massachusetts. This is the second opportunity I’ve had to publish work with Silkworm and in that is complete joy. It goes without saying that this is a fine publication filled with compelling readings. This collection begins with a quote by Emily Dickinson: “Luck is not chance — / It’s toil —”

But I also am drawn to this issue’s cover art, Coyote Song, by artist Lynn Sisler. Fantastic!

Much gratitude to the Florence Poets Society for offering “Surrender” a paper-paged home.
