Where are all the souls
whose Mount Pleasant gravestones—
far from marking any final rest—
are carved with Lost At Sea?

Thanks to co-editors Luisa A. Igloria, Aileen Cassinetto, and David Hassler for their swiftness in responding to the submission of my poem "We Are Nature." (Do they have any idea how much a prompt response means to a 70-year-old writer?) And thanks for including it in their Gallery, one of many poems under consideration for their planned print anthology The Nature of Our Times:Poems on America’s Lands, Waters, 
Wildlife, and Other Natural Wonders.
