I'm pleased to announce that The Beekeeper and other love poems collected a finalist plaque in Kansas City's Thorpe Menn Award for Literary Merit from AAUW. Barbara Egel reviewed it kindly in LIGHT Magazine.
I apologize for not being a faithful Spherian, although I'm often in touch by other means, most notably ZOOM readings in recent months.
Huge congrats, Barbara! Another “unfaithful Spherian,” I’ve been noticing your work in multiple venues, and this isn’t your only award, well-deserved, and I’ve become a fan of your uplifting poetry. Finally, one for the Beekeepers!
