Okay, I have a few updates and items for you today.
Penny Harter sent this update:
Hi,
Three poems from my book Lizard Light: Poems from the Earth are featured on the wonderful site "Poets for Living Waters" that was begun after the Gulf oil spill, and has continued since as an ecologically affirmative site. You can spend hours exploring the moving and provocative work there. I'm honored to be included.
You can read the poems, my "eco-statement," and see a photo of the beach cottage at Barnegat Light, Long Beach Island, that I remember from family vacations when I was a child. The photo was taken in 1933!
Hope you enjoy the poems, and that you're savoring these waning days of summer / early days of fall.
Warmly,
Penny

I also had a poem published in "Poet s for Living Waters." What a wonderful venue - the writing speak of tragedy, sadness, regret, despair, and also hope.
