Quotations for writers
“Our vocation, the writer’s life, allows us to believe that we are always at the beginning of things, since each new story we write, each new novel, each new sentence, for that matter, turns us once again into novices, freshmen, lone travelers in uncharted lands, debutantes—eternally new at this, eternally attempting to tell a story that’s never been told before.
Not a bad thing. Really."
—Alice McDermott

Two of my poems are among over 80 works of photography, illustration, poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction in this new anthology edited by Rhonda Rosenheck.The watercolor cover art was painted by children’s book illustrator Anne Catharine Blake. Rhonda presents the work in six clusters: Noticing, Accepting, Wrestling, Opening, Entwining, and Exuberance. It's about "people choosing life, reframing challenges, wrestling personal demons, and celebrating blessings," the editor says. Order from Exsolutas Press.
