Musings on Writing and Life.
Several years back, my poem, “One June Day: Fire, Heat, & Children Locked in Cages at the Texas-Mexico Border,” was published at the poem of the day online at What Rough Beast on November 30, 2018. Edited by Michael Broder, What Rough Beast was a daily poetry site attempting to chronicle the travesties of the first (accidental) Trump administration. It was a project of Indolent Books which is now offering the site, Second Coming, with one poem every day to in protest to Felon 47 and his fascist regime.
This poem, “One June Day: Fire, Heat, and Children Locked in Cages at the Texas-Mexico Border” was later republished in the Clackamas Literary Review in Spring 2019.
