I'm feeling more upbeat than I was yesterday, primarily because I had a wonderful afternoon in the company of six Higgins cousins from three generations, and the wives of the older three. These are re-connections after many years, and I am so warmed by them.
In other news,
I have been writing, and also, sending poems out. Many rejections, but these
acceptances, many of which one can read online. A number of these are poems
from my first and second books; glad for them to get more exposure.
* My poem "An Active and Personal Devil" will appear in the December issue of Commonthought Magazine, a print journal out of Cambridge Massachusetts.
* I am "Poet of the Week" for the week of December 2 on the website Poetry Superhighway:

* I have two poems in the
November issue of W.I.S.H.( Walking is still honest!)
