The new issue of The Orchards Poetry Journal is now published. You can download a pdf file for free, or order a beautifully printed paper copy. I am so pleased that my poem, “Ars Poetica,” is included. (This poem is also included in my new collection, Geranium Lake: Poems on Art and Art-Making, forth-coming this fall from Kelsay Books.)
