Reminder — today is the last day to vote for the Spillwords Press Awards for June 2022.  You can vote for both Author of the Month and Publication of the Month right here.  (As I shared here on Sunday, a poem of mine entitled “Where Would We Go?” is a nominee in the latter category.  I remain grateful if you’ve supported this piece so far.)
