Please join me in extending my heartfelt thanks to Editor D. Ellis Phelps for including my poem “Glory Be…” in the Fall 2024: solace vol. 1 no. 1 issue of the lovely online journal, formidable woman sanctuary (scroll down). Who knew this little ode of mine would find such an absolutely perfect home?

Also, please consider submitting work that uplifts, comforts, and consoles for the current issue of fws: solace HERE. Works are being published in the issue as they are accepted. Submissions for the fws: solace issue will remain open until March 2025.
