Horseshoe Literary Magazine is based in Western Newfoundland. Given past summers of driving Anchorage to St. John’s and back, later flying across Canada to backpack the South Coast, and 10 years ago driving cross-country again to visit L’Anse Aux Meadows, of course I was eager to submit some poetry to this publication. As it turns out, the magazine’s editors accepted two poems for publication, “Flame Flower” and “Border Closure,” and of course I was over the moon. Cheers to Newfoundland, their journals, and my adventuring memories of that sweet, other island in the other ocean.
