Once again, thank you for writing and sharing these footprint words. My favorites were, "...out of longing—a great desire to fill the vast expanse of universe with a light and love so powerful, everyone on our planet would stop long enough, look around, and wonder what we’re fighting for and why." I told Havens recently that if I were to find my magic wand, I would make it so that every human being alive on Earth would have the experience of seeing the Milky Way in its glory and would have that sense of wonder.
Andi -- So good to read your Substack & poems at Sky Island Journal! Nicely done. Were these publications already in the works when we met online via Emily Harstone's SPR or did they result from a flurry of inspired submissions? I've certainly upped my submission rate, and I enjoyed the chance your pieces afforded me to check out Sky Island Journal. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Hi Andi,

Good news & congratulations! I have more pieces circulating as well, waiting for response. Carry on!
Andi, Congratulations on your two poems in Sky Island Journal. Very well done!
And two more acceptance letters in the last 2 days: one from Open Shutter and one from Feminism & Religion. I'll post links when they are available.
Greetings from afar. Canada
