Four Poems Up at As Above So Below

I’m delighted that four of my shakuhachi poems are up at As Above So Below, which also includes two poems by Stephanie L. Harper (one of which was written while under COVID-19’s breath-crushing grip) and pieces by Kate Garret, Sarah Law, Mark Tulin and others you might recognize. Many thanks to editor Bethany Rivers for taking these pieces.

Thanks, Jazz. The publication seemed to be a good match, so I gave it a shot. Turns out the editor plays the shakuhachi. Sometimes the world isn’t as big as we think. Ha.

    Ah! I’m able to drink reds these days. COVID-19 has distorted my sense of smell and taste for certain things. I can no longer tolerate sparkling wine – cava and prosecco smell and taste horrible. Sad, as they’ve long been favorites. I hope this goes away…
