3 Poems/Photos in Mojave Heart Review
I’m excited to have three poems and three photographs in the new issue of Mojave Heart Review.

Mojave Heart has done a beautiful presentation of the project with each poem and accompanying photo on its own page. I hope you’ll click over … Continue reading 3 Poems/Photos in Mojave Heart Review

Recently, I read a poem by my friend and stellar poet, Robert Okaji, titled “Because You Cook”. Wow, did that poem ever make my mouth water! Don’t you love poems about food? I think it’s right up there with my favorite subjects for poems. Instantly, I began craving an omelette, which I rarely make, but it was raining and I was too lazy to brave it to go cut some fresh basil. Plus, I didn’t have … Continue reading Haibun: Eggs with Pesto and Goat Cheese
