Blood Orange Review nominated my sestina with the very long title (and liberal use of ampersands!) — “The Winter We Lived in the Church & It Snowed Daily & the First Barrel of Crude Oil Traveled Successfully through the Trans Alaska Pipeline” — for a 2014 Pushcart Prize — not sure when the decisions get made as to who wins but nice to have it noted here.

Interests: Reading, writing, not arithmetic. The art and craft of poetry. Photography. Vegetable and flower gardening especially heirloom bulbs and dahlias. Movies in real theatres. Theatre on real stages. Art in real galleries. Crossword puzzles and, of course, Wordle. Singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann and Patti Griffin. All kinds of music especially 1930s jazz. Venice, Italy! The Dude abides.
