Poetry for Ukraine: a new anthology
One of my poems is included in this fundraising collection
I’m very pleased that my poem, ‘I might go barefoot on the receiving earth’, is included in the new ‘Poetry for Ukraine’ anthology just published (April 7, 2022) by ‘The Poet’ magazine, both online and in book form.
More than 250 poets from more than 50 countries are featured in the collection, and all profits go to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund.

I might go barefoot on the receiving earth
I might go barefoot on the receiving earth
wash in the waters of the spangled sun-lake
fill my eyes with the sky at dawn and sunset
sail with the mandrake moon on a tide of stars
I might sit among the rocks and watch the sea
listen well as the breeze whispers its secrets
dream on clouds that cluster to the mountain peak
tend a winter hearth for my lover’s return
