One Good Memory for sure!

I thank the folks at Silver Birch Press for including “Sunlight Seas” in their One Good Memory Series. It was a good memory indeed! https://silverbirchpress.wordpress.com/2023/01/16/sunlight-seas-by-robert-walton-one-good-memory-series/

Tenaya Moods in Red Wolf Journal

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.

Chip and the Bear

Editor Matt Potter generously added a Yosemite reminiscence of mine to this excellent anthology. I like to welcome strangers to my campfire. Friend Chip? Not so much.

Repletion! A gratuitous bear picture taken by one son or the other.

Aspens and Dawn Snow

Aspens by Marlo Saucedo

Artist Marlo Saucedo completed a wonderful painting inspired by and paired with “Dawn Snow”, one of my Yosemite poems. I’m most pleased to share her accomplishment with you! It will be exhibited in Houston, Texas next spring, precise dates to be determined.  I hope we can collaborate again soon. Here’s a link to her artist’s site:

Winter Sky

I write few poems and most of them go through years or decades of revision before I try to share them. “Winter Sky” popped into my head a week or so ago and I found nothing to change. I thank YDP editor Jayne Jaudon for thinking so too! Here’s the link: http://www.yourdailypoem.com/listpoem.jsp?poem_id=3256

Abe meets Muir in Yosemite

Third Flatiron’s new anthology focuses on the theme of longevity. Edtior Juliana Rew graciously included a story of mine among this collection of strong stories. “Abe in Yosemite” explores a major historical what if: how might Abe’s life have turned out had John Wilkes Booth failed to assassinate him? I got to spend time with Abraham Lincoln again, always a worthwhile thing to do, and I think I did some of my best writing. Here’s the Amazon link:

Guru Raven

My visitor

My reminiscence of a surprising Yosemite wildlife encounter was just published on the Braided Way website. Fruitful work with editor Laura Grace Weldon helped me smooth this piece out for her readership. I thank her and hope you’ll enjoy the story. Here’s the link:
