I love you. I appreciate you. I give you a fantastical new week!

It’s an anthology! It’s paper! It’s a book! More Poemographs for Peace, A Photo & Poetry Anthology, ed by Cathy Warner. As the blurb on Amazon says: “includes poetry by 22 poets: Carolyn Wiley, Cathy Warner, Charles Perrone, Cindy Domasky, C.L. Halvorson, Dawn Smart, Genét Bosqué, Jan Haag, Lenora Rain-Lee Good, Leslayann Schecterson, Linda Whaley, Paula Wychopen, Rose Anna Higashi, Spirit Thom, Sterling Warner, Stuart Kurtz, Sue Daly, Sue Magrath, Susan Glenn Lampe, Teresa Gauthier, Thomas Jones, and Tino De Guevara. These fine poets responded to daily photos as they participated in this National Poetry Month anthology fundraiser. All proceeds from the sale of More Poemographs for Peace will be donated to World Central Kitchen to provide meals in war-torn Gaza, and to the American Civil Liberties Union to support the work of upholding democracy at home. The poems in this anthology, like those in its predecessors Poemographs for Peace (2022) and Poemographs (2021), continue the conversation between photography, writing, art, inspiration, action, and creativity.” [Bold is my addition.]

This book is truly food for your soul, and food for people in Gaza. Please consider buying copies.

I’m so honored this group of Poets has allowed me not only to be a part of their Zoom family, but accepted one of my poems, “KZ Gedenkstätte Dachau (II)” but also two of my lowkus.

Please note that ALL of the proceeds/royalties will go to World Central Kitchen to provide meals in war-torn Gaza, and the American Civil Liberties Union. In order to get maximum royalties for our charities, please order your copies (yes, plural, they’re great gifts) from either
