I’ve had some fun NaPoMo times. It has forced poems out of me that I didn’t know were ready to be born, some of which were later published. The challenge of writing a poem daily can be strenuous. You need to join wholeheartedly for it to work; group encouragement helps. Otherwise, it’s just another excuse…

This event is always a favorite. Poets published in The Solitary Plover will read a poem from the Winter 2025 issue and share a favorite poem by the great Wisconsin poet Lorine Niedecker.

I am thrilled to have a poem published by Silver Birch Press, an online poetry journal that offers its readers consistently enjoyable poems every day. My poem is Tactile, part of the My Favorite Things series.
