Well, this is a nice surprise tonight.  Scars Publications included my poem “March Midnight Window” in its Signs and Revelations: Scars Publications 2025 Collection Book.  You can order it right here from Amazon.

The poem previously appears in Scars’ cc&d magazine last March, and then the following month in the Letter From the End of the World anthology.
