2024 was an interesting year for me in terms of publications because it included three prose pieces and two haiku. In other words, I branched out.
It could be that the recent difficulty I’ve had writing poetry is because I’m no longer writing the same kind of poems. Or it could be that my mind is elsewhere–with Fresh Water Press or the Solitary Plover, two publishing venues that I’m involved with as an editor/owner (FWP) or as an editorial assistant and editor (SP). Or maybe I’m just worried about family issues. It happens.
