A September Flurry of Poems
J.S. has a flurry of brand new poems falling into publication this month. First, it was Falling like Feathers in the month's issue of Acumen (# 113). Now it's two crisp new poems in #106 of The Frogmore Papers. The poems are Fen Shadow and Swimming Through a Hot Summer Night and they are in a pile of stunning poems in the September issue.
