I am so happy to report here that my short nature poem, “The Mountain at Summer, Seen from a Passing Car,” will be included in the upcoming Gathering poetry anthology. Gathering is an outstanding annual collection developed by Poets Anonymous and The Bards Initiative, and published by Local Gems Press.
The book is slated for an August 26th release, following a book launch that day at 7:30 PM at the Courtyard Dulles Airport Chantilly, 3935 Centerview Drive, Chantilly VA 20151. (The doors open at 7 PM.)
