“Bards Across the Pond” is now available over at Amazon.

You can order your copy right here.  Local Gems Press developed this anthology to honor the rich poetic traditions in both America and the United Kingdom. 

Bards Across the Pond includes work from over 120 poets across the United States and over 50 poets from various regions in the UK.  (I am one of the former — if you purchase the volume, I hope you enjoy “The Rough, Violet Stone.”) 😉

For a little perspective, we Americans should remember the support and friendship the French people showed us after September 11, 2001.

L’Amérique se tient avec la France.
