An Evening of Poetry CANCELLED
Germanna
Community College is responding to the Coronavirus in a number of ways
including canceling all events until at least April 3.
Therefore, we will be cancelling the April 3 Poetry Night.
We will plan on one again for October of 2020 and will delay any PSV-NC Region
meetings until at least May.
Please
feel free to respond with any questions or concerns. I will be in touch by
email with further updates.

Smoky Blue Literary and Arts Magazine
has accepted my poem “The Freelance Geographer” for publication in
March 2020. This is the fourth time SBLAAM has featured my work and I
deeply appreciate it.
The poem is written as if in the
voice of my friend since college, Don Bivens, who died in 2018 and is
my small memorial to a good man, a good friend, whose nickname was
indeed “Good Guy.”

Review: Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft
Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Janet Burroway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I first read Burroway’s book in its second
edition. Now in its tenth edition, Writing Fiction is even better. I
recommend it for the beginning or more mature writer.
