National Poetry Month meets National Library Week: Word Fountain

April is National Poetry Month. April 9-15, 2017 is National Library Week. With this convergence, I believe it will be most appropriate to focus on the Word Fountain, the literary magazine of the Osterhout Free Library in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

I was honored to have a submission accepted for inclusion in the Winter 2017 edition of Word Fountain (issue #12.) The issue is chock-full of poetry (and some prose pieces!) by local, national, and international poets and authors. The entire issue is now online, so you can read it from anywhere. Submissions have already closed for the Spring/Summer 2017 issue, but a call for submissions for the next issue will be coming soon!

Rather than focusing on a single piece, I'm encouraging you to go to the site and check out the entire issue! You can also read all of issue #11, Summer 2016!
