Being made poet laureate has been the artistic kiss of death for many a writer. Larkin, Auden and the others had a lucky escape.

It's a Wrap!!
A big thank you to the poets of Anaheim, CA. Everyone had a great time reading their poems at the Anaheim Poetry Review Launch Party at Anaheim Central Library. Here they all are, holding up their books proudly for the camera.
As the editor, it has been my pleasure working with you all.

I appeared before the Anaheim City Council for the Proclamation of National Poetry Month.
I spoke about coordinating "Indie Author Day" last November. I also gave details of the annual community journal "Anaheim Poetry Review".
Then I read my poem "Grandfather's Journey" published in "The Lotus Tree Literary Review", inspired by the story of my grandfather escaping from post WWII Ukraine.

Follow the Leader
She walked along the stony narrow pathway
Dodging the wobbly sharp pebbles and stones
The sound of the cascading ravine befriended
She acknowledged the companions following
Laughing delightedly at their apprehensions....

As the women wolves gather
Amidst the midnight gloom
Seeking along the dank shores
Peevishly stalking lonesome paths
While fending wounds inflicted
Upon the bodyâs bruised frame

An Ode to Virginia Woolf
She covered the wound with an orange band-aid.
Regrettably, no skin colored oneâs available
It had been oozing for some time
At night she would awaken troubled
The lesion seeping pus and blood

A Man Called Ranjit
There once was a man who liked fruit.
He said, "See the great prostitute!"
It was rather red,
But not very thread,
He couldn't say no to the salute.
