My Dear Readers,
Vita Brevis just published Pain & Renewal: A Poetry Anthology. I have two poems included: The Dark Flag of Pain and Autumn Healing.
“Pain & Renewal features a collection of incredible voices — from Pulitzer and Pushcart prize winners to brand new poets, it’s filled with moving poetry about the highs and lows of the human experience.”
You can get the digital version here.
And you can get the print version here.
Here is a snippet from my poem Autumn Healing:
..this autumn stretches purple shadows
over unending fields of sweet corn and hurt souls
it brings from the depth the lacustrine goddess
who heals all wounds with yesterday’s mirth…
@Gabriela Marie Milton

Muchas gracias, thank you, Francisco. I’ll try a thank you in Catalan next time 🙂
Seriously, I am humbled and thrilled by your congrats. It moved me that you read that stanza too and you liked it. I greatly admire your work (that’s an understatement). Your opinion means a lot to me, Francisco.
Have a beautiful rest of the evening in beautiful Valencia.
Gabriela
Thank you Gabriela, you too, have a lovely Sunday and I truly appreciate your words! All the best, greetings from sunny Valencia,
Francisco
Greetings received. Thank you. I am thinking of stealing the sun 🙂
Good idea! hehehe…
Oh, I can send you in exchange some ghostly looking trees and hauling winds; winter images that one paints in his/her mind when reading Wuthering Heights, but I am afraid you will not trade 🙂
abrazos
They sound fascinating but…I think I’ll stick to the sunshine of Valencia, the blue skies, no shadows and the Mediterranean Sea!
Un abrazo,
F
As you wish matador 🙂
Hehehe…good one!
🙂
This is great news, congratulations! Looks like a great collection.
Thank you so much, River. It does, doesn’t it? What are you working on now?
You’re welcome. Me, I’m just keeping busy. Working on my own poetry and short stories as well as getting the next publications in order for Potter’s Grove Press.
That’s great River. Looking forward to your new publications. It sounds like you have plenty of work to do.
Thank you.

How cool, Gab. Congrats.
Thank you, Bo. It means a lot to me.

Thank you so much, my dearest Rachel. If you are smiling. I am smiling too. I really appreciate your kindness, generosity, and good wishes.
I hope you are feeling better and your ankle is healing. Please let me know. I am worried about you Rachel.
Wishing you a lovely week.
xoxoxoxo
Not only are you a magnificent writer but you have a magnificent heart. I am doing ok thanks Gabriela. I had to cancel a camping trip (bit tricky on crutches), but I do think my ankle is healing, I am slowly starting to put some weight on it!
Best of luck for classes starting again tomorrow. And how is that moon treating you now??!!
Xoxoxox
Rachel, I do not know if you wanted to cancel the camping trip, but I think you did the right thing. I am glad to hear that your ankle is healing.
Ay, the weight. Don;t worry sweetheart. It will go away once you start walking again. Just don’t eat too many chocolates 🙂
Yes, classes are starting tomorrow. I am almost ready. I may have to work 3-4 hours today till I get everything under control, but that’s fine.
The moon left. I can’t be more happy.
Sending you lots of love, my fabulous Rachel.
Take good care of you and thank you for everything.
xoxoxo
Smiling again. I meant put weight on it as in stand on it, but you are right, I should stay away from chocolates too! 😂.
You work so hard dear G, I am glad the moon has finally retracted. Who needs a sticky moon, on top of everything else?
Xoxox
haha! Sorry. My mistake. I apologize for that.
Yes, I do work hard. I am about to finish my poetry manuscript and send it to the publisher. Then I have to focus a bit more on my academic work.
Love, hugs, flowers. Let me know what else I can send you sweetheart.
xoxo
Your wishes are the best thing I could receive. I’m lucky to get them. I send mine to you too xxx

I am still happy about that.
