From the poet:
I've recorded my poem "Bear" from my first book, Photographing Eden, while on a trip to Shenandoah National Park this September, some 21 years after my first visit there when the original event that inspired the poem took place. Thanks Jason for offering it 🙏 @colorisanevent Visit, follow, & share to support these poets. —

Anyone interested in receiving a Christmas poem postcard ? I’ll happily drop one in the mail to you if you send me your address. Or mailed to a friend or family member? I’ll do that too. Features “Christmas with Kings” from my first book, Photographing Eden.
