September has brought a couple of other publications worth mentioning. First, the marvelous Rat’s Ass Review Fall-Winter 2025 issue includes my poem “Filling in the Gaps.”
And you can read my poem “Anchor” in this month’s Halfway Down the Stairs.
It never rains, but it pours! Last week, I opened the mail to find the latest issue of Nixes Mate Review, which includes my poem “Solar Event.”
And yesterday, this month’s Verse-Virtual came out, including my poems “Florida Sunset” and “Five Ways Hair Is Like Sunlight.”
