Water~Stone chooses "Lilacs ..."

It's a beautiful spring day, and Water~Stone Review has just chosen "Lilacs for the Blacksmith's Wife" for this year's upcoming print issue. I am thrilled! And I am indebted to Jude Nutter and my friends at the Loft Literary Center for their wise feedback on earlier versions of the poem. I am very grateful for the literary community in the Twin Cities.
