Never Too Late, Maybe

Publishers I'm Grateful for in 2025: Four Feathers Press

I submitted to the Don Kingfisher Campbell's Heart Flames anthology back in February, and I just kept going. I managed to get in most of the online exclusive anthologies for this year. It was great practice and I was in very good company with several Stone Soup poets joining in the fun. I also worked closely with Don and introduced several west coast voices to Stone Soup Poetry. I hope we can do more work together in the upcoming year. 

Look Out for Feathers

Thanks to Don Kingfisher Campbell for accepting my eleventh hour poem "Lookout" in Four Feathers Press: Look Out, which will likely be the last Four Feathers Press online anthology for 2025. 

Faces Front!

My poem "Early Epilogue" is part of the latest Four Feathers Press online anthology, Face Features. Thank you, Don Kingfisher Campbell, for including me in such good company. Edward S. Gault, Susan Isla Tepper, Joe Grieco, Jackie Chou and likely more to come! You have until the 21st to send something. 

Happy Birthday, Don Kingfisher Campbell
