Irene Toh, editor of the Red Wolf Journal, has shared a number of my mountain poems over the years. She recently decided to pull together some contributors’ collections and I am honored to be among those she decided to publish. This is as close as I’ve come to having an actual book of my poetry, so I want to share it with you all.

Poetry has always been a vast puzzle for me. Discovering how words and images best fit together sometimes takes me years — or decades — of attempts. Balconies Belay is one such poem. I began it thirty years ago, but it only coalesced in recent weeks. Irene Toh has included it in Red Wolf Journal and plans to include it in her Fall 2022 edition A Change of World. I’m both pleased and honored! https://redwolfjournal.wordpress.com

I thank editor Irene Toh for including “Tenaya Moods Shared” in Red Wolf Journal. Yosemite’s beauties – especially Tenaya Lake – are sources of spiritual regeneration for all who visit them. Covid has severed us from those beauties for more than a year and our spirits suffer. Words are cabnot substitute, but I hope mine will help a little.

Another bank of covid fog just cleared away! I discovered that Red Wolf Journal published a couple of my poems – Hummingbird and Boxing at Mar a Lago – back in October of last year. I missed the memo – no excuses! It’s a fine journal and I thank the editors most humbly!

Editor Irene Toh graciously chose to put my poem First Snow in “Time is a River without Banks”, Red Wolf Journal’s spring 2019 anthology. It’s a beautiful collection and I’m most pleased to have my small poem included.
