Meanwhile...back to poetry, I'm grateful that Cape Cod Poetry Review published three poems of mine

In June of 2013, I featured at Poet's Corner in South Yarmouth, hosted by Barry Hellman and the late Joe Gouveia. Joe was a stand-up poet and wonderful guy. I hardly knew him, but he met me for dinner, for lobster and fine conversation about poetry, life, recovery and the love of his life, his wife. Sadly, Joe lost is battle with cancer a year later.

At that gig, I met John Bonnani, the editor of The Cape Cod Poetry Review. I asked him about his journal and submitted.

A year and a half later, my poems,

"Decomposition" 
"No Home Like Place" 
"There's Sunshine When You Need It"  showed up in my mailbox, along with some other fine poets.
