I have a poem in the winter issue of Hiraeth Publishing’s “Illumen”.
In addition, Terrie Leigh Relf interviews Alan Ira Gordon, and there are many great poems.

Anything that happens in nature, including human history, has underlying causes. Often more than one, often a whole slew of contributing factors. However, there are always critical causes, without which the same event would not have happened or, at least, would have been fundamentally different.
