back to work at the park

So, it is trying to be spring and I am back to work at the park in Copper Harbor.
Still trying to adjust to working late and sleeping in. Something my body doesn't
like to do. It still thinks I should get up at 5:30 am.

What has it been like at the park? Slow.

high gas prices
more hummingbirds
than campers


not even enough campers to make it worthwhile for the bears to visit.

On the publication front: The Rose and Thorn is in the June online issue of Underground Voices
along with Listening to Sun Ra. Another poem appears online at Origami Condom. and a few tanka were kindly published in the spring issue of Modern English Tanka.

This summer I will be kick-starting a couple of new magazines. Her Red Dress which will either be printed through Lulu or Amazon's Create Space sites. And a little cut-and -paste 3 page newsletterish zine titled Whiskey Breath - poems from the barroom floor. But, first I have to get chapbooks by Ken Pobo and Mark Hartenbach printed.
