My poems “Worms,” “Self-Portrait as Question,” “Love Song for the Dandelion,” and “Pinecone on a Pedestal, Open Poet” are up at Rue Scribe. Many thanks to Eric Luthi and the editors at Rue Scribe for accepting these pieces, and to Ken Gierke, who provided the title for “Pinecone on a Pedestal, Open Poet” three years ago during a Tupelo Press 30-30 challenge. It finally made it into the world!
O at the Edges 
Congratulations again, Robert! You’re really on a roll!

Delighted with one more self-portrait! Wondering where these spring from?

I’m not certain where this self-portrait series comes from, other than my interest in the ordinary, often overlooked pieces of life, those fragments of language and nature and our interactions with them. They just pop out from time to time. 😄

So great to see you getting the attention you deserve. (K)
