My poem “Turkey Vulture” is live in Eclectica Magazine’s January/February 2020 issue as part of the journal’s recurring Word Poem Challenge feature. I’d like to thank poetry editor Evan Martin Richards for selecting this piece, and express my appreciation for Eclectica Magazine, in general, for being one of the longest-running online journals out there, and doing such great work to promote literature and literary kind!
Reblogged this on O at the Edges and commented:
It takes a special person to love a turkey vulture. Stephanie L. Harper is special!

What a sweet love story … I’ll be looking at vultures through a new lens now! Now I’ll see them as “handsome redheads”.

Indeed! Since I moved to Turkey Vulture country, these birds’ intelligence, regality, and self-possession have certainly made an impression on me!

You’ve used quite a palette (and I don’t mean palate!) to paint this scene.
