In our Book Reviews section, between Fiction and Nonfiction, you can often find reviews of Folklore and/or Poetry. This is an “and/or” because we don’t always have both, and sometimes we have neither. Our coverage tends to ebb and flow, as do the trends in books being published.

Dealing with topics that are still raw. Researching images that are so demeaning, horrific, and then having to enlighten the reader, in hopes of them being inspired, can be cumbersome.

The poem “Remember” was one of my earliest poems, written because we needed to remember what matters, where we come from, and how we are all connected. It has traveled extensively since it emerged into this world and is now on the Lucy spacecraft headed toward Jupiter’s orbit.
