Late yesterday we were deeply saddened to hear from Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas and Patrick Grizzell that we've lost poet Indigo Moor, now "an extra star in Orion's belt."

Here's "Apotheosis," Indigo's final poem from his first book, TAP-ROOT, which beautifully expresses his soul, his brilliance, and the enormity of our loss.

Indigo, we shall remember you.

Molly Fisk and Susan Kelly-DeWitt had us at hello this past Saturday! Susan held us in her thrall with poems from FRANGIBLE OPERA and GATHERER'S ALPHABET, and Molly beguiled with poems from her latest book, WALKING WHEEL. Big bow to Susan, Molly, and all who came! And thanks, as always, to Northbrae Community Church for the poetry space! 🥰
