Gargoyle Magazine accepted my poem “Meditation” the other day. The most recent issue is excellent, which is one reason I decided to send there. I’ll be adding some poems from their recent issue to my “great poems read in magazines” list.

We’re headed over to the Mary Timony show tonight at Ft. Reno Park.
