| | again, i've written VERY little poetry lately. been working on some other stuff, including getting some poems ready to submit for an exhibit that will be here the first two weeks in October. the Artists' Roster of Shreveport Regional Arts Council is sponsoring a show for all the member artists. most will be visual art of various kinds and some will be performances. all the members were invited to submit up to ten works, with the promise that the committee would use at least one item from each entrant. i prepared six short poems in frames with some kind of visual element behind or around the text. the committee only agreed to take one for the exhibit, but i think the exhibit will be a fun event and maybe one they'll repeat next year. the poem they chose was 'shoe leather,' which has been posted here. i printed it out on a brown sandwich bag and made orange marker 'stitching' around the edge, then crumpled it up to look like 'leather' before framing it. it turned out fun. if you're in the Shreveport area, come out to Artspace October 1-17 and enjoy the exhibit, free.
i've also done some proofreading for the next four volumes of work from Silver Boomer Books. we are now the proud publishers of three nostalgia anthologies, two inspirational books, two books of poetry (not mine) and a book of essays about learning to live in the country. the anthologies and essays are published under the original Silver Boomer Books line. the inspirationals are part of Eagle Wings Press, our recovery imprint; and the poetry books are appearing from Laughing Cactus Press, which will also present works of fiction, including my short stories if i can ever finish the collection! all our titles are available through the Silver Boomer website, at Amazon, or the Barnes and Noble website. in Abilene, the titles are also available at Hastings Books and Music.
our third anthology, pictured above, is This Path, stories, poems and essays about choices people make or life events that have put us on the life path we follow, sometimes not the path we thought we'd be on.
