Well Bottom Blues

Oh my God it's full of stars!


Easy Come, Easy…Wait WTF?

This is so weird. I’ve never had poems accepted, published electronically and then taken down because I somehow after the fact was determined not to fit their editorial vision. Yes I read the themes statement in the call.

On the Theme

Blue Spring – Recollection & the Interior Life

Recollection

Cultural memory and ancestral reverence. Sacred landscapes, saints, and their legacy. The rediscovery of forgotten texts, nostalgia for transcendent beauty, and memories that awaken longing for what lies beyond the material.

The Interior Life

Silence and solitude as hidden sanctity. Domestic spirituality and quiet virtue in the ordinary. Hesychasm, inner stillness, and the unseen transformation of the soul.
