Here we are, May 2025, and the world feels upside down and sideways. Despite all this, poets are going to poet, and artist are going to art. Creative people will continue to do their part…I’m thankful to live in a country where freedom of expression is still available to its citizens.

Poem: Four Corners of Ignorance
This Labor Day weekend I share a poem and remember one of the more unusual gigs I was offered. The parade was going to be canceled that year due to no organizer. A non-profit decided to organize it at the last moment. However, the regular, seasoned professional female host was out of the country. The city needed a female host— immediately. Could I messure up to the task?
