My poems “Gruyere,” “Mushrooms I Have Known” and “Chipotle” are up at Nthanda Review, an online literary magazine out of Mawali. This marks the first publication for each, although they’ve all appeared on the blog before. I’m grateful to the editors for taking these pieces.

Wow! These three delicious poems! Your vivid studies of the excruciating contradictions even in the most pedestrian of human behaviors, is nothing short of wondrous! Bravo! And congratulations on yet another international publication!

All 3 delightful … collection inspires a before-bed snack (mushrooms on hand, but no Gruyere, no Chipotle … will have to improvise!)

I’ve no mushrooms at hand, but there is a suitable replacement for Gruyere. And chipotle – I’ve the dried chiles, powder and the jarred stuff in adobo sauce. Hmm. Perhaps a meal with chipotle is in the future…
