ANNOUNCEMENTS & UPDATES
The October date came and went in the midst of life happening.
Trees and Other Miracles will be out in April, National Poetry Month, 2017.

MY NEW BOOK: Trees and Other Miracles will be out by October 15th, 2016!
My second volume includes poems and reflections I've written since publishing "untying the web" in 2012
Many of you have asked about the inspiration behind a poem and the meaning of particular phrases or ideas that caught your attention.
Your curiosity has inspired my expression and your support encourages me to try new directions!
In Trees and Other Miracles I tie reflections with poems that support and amplify each other.
Sometimes a few perfect words in a poem say it all. Other times a reflection opens up a poem and almost begs for a dialogue.
I hope Trees and Other Miracles does all of that and more!
Here's a sneak peek:
listening
it is in the mists
of unknowing
that words
unbounded
unburdened
arise
truth crosses a threshold
into the present
bearing gifts
for those with ears
to hear
I'm really excited to bring my new book to completion and I look forward to sharing it with you!

CLASSES AND WRITING GROUPS
Nothing scheduled yet for 2017, but give me a nudge and perhaps we can create something that we all want to do together. Right now, I'm continuing informal and unscheduled writings and readings with a few friends.
Go with the flow!

I've been asked to convene a monthly writing group that will begin in October.
I have some great ideas and resources to share!
What are best days and times for you?
Most requests are from folks who are not tied to a 9 to 5 schedule so afternoons might work well.
Let me know: southforkvoice@ymail.com
I'm happy that we all keep on writing and create a group that helps support our endeavors....
Thanks to you all!
