My poem, “In Praise of Reason,” has been published in Panoply’s themed (“untamed”) and first-ever contest issue! I’m thrilled to have my poem appear with Robert Okaji’s contest-winning effort, and I’m grateful to editors Jeff, Ryn, and Andrea for selecting my work!

Bless you, Lynne! I’m glad you like it. Yes, I may be more and more inclined to explore Reason’s proverbial flip-side… 😉💖

I love this one, Stephanie – the “voices” … tree, spider, restraint … the implications of letting a certain voice be unleashed … you’ve written a thriller!
And that tree image is amazing, also – I can imagine speaking the unspeakable in the presence of such a tree, feeling safe that tree would hold my confidences in its elbows.

Thank you, S.J., you always see right to the core of my poems (and, by association, of me…). Yes, this piece was informed by the chatter of a multitude of discordant entities… But yes, there is much peace to be found in the arms of that tree. 💖
