Care to vote for Publication of the Month at Spillwords?
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.)

Buildings being demolished on Campbell Avenue, Roanoke, VA
June 2022. I thought this was pretty wild — what you see is a row of buildings that have been almost entirely demolished, all facing Campbell Avenue. (These include what used to be the Campbell Court Bus Station and the deli beside it.) The facades at front remain intact for now, but they are otherwise gutted.
The Roanoke Times publishes my latest letter to the editor.
The Roanoke Times today published my letter to the editor about mandatory prayer in the public school classroom. You can read it online right here.
The Roanoke Times is Virginia’s third-largest newspaper, with a Sunday circulation of nearly 230,000 people. Thanks so much to its editorial staff for allowing me to share my opinion with my neighbors in Southwest Virginia.

My poem “Where Would We Go?” was nominated for a Spillwords Press Award.
I was notified last night that my poem “Where Would We Go?” was nominated for a Spillwords Press Publication of the Month Award for June. I am just thrilled with the distinction; thanks so much to those of you who’ve supported this piece already.
“Where Would We Go?” was published for the first time at Spillwords Press on June 13 — you can find it right here. I’d be flattered, of course, if you liked the poem enough to vote in its favor. You’d need to register as a user first with the Spillwords Press website, but that’s quick and easy enough. Here’s where to vote.
I hope you all had a great weekend!

“Epigram,” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool,
But you yourself may serve to show it,
That every fool is not a poet.
