My copy of the double issue 33/34 of Qwerty arrived in the mail just in time for Christmas! The magazine includes three of my poems: “Swans,” “Blue Moon (Honeymoon),” and “Blue.” I’m really thrilled to see them in print, and I hope you’ll enjoy them too! 
Happy holidays, readers and friends! Here’s a photograph of a dark-eyed junco who sometimes hangs out in my garden. May the season bring you lots of warmth, light, love, and a renewed sense of wonder for the world and all the creatures with whom we share it!
