A man sells potatoes on the street from a pushcart, along with many other vendors, on the Lower East Side, sometime in the late 19th or early 20th Centuries.

Great photo...the clarity, the subject, the LES and the smile.

It's Sunday - a good day for my #introduction. I'm curious and love to research. I'm also opinionated, talkative and a #news junkie. I've worked as an #editor for trade magazines, a #journalist and a college #professor. Way back when, I ran a pre-press service that evolved into #newspaper publishing before I joined the 9-5 crowd. I earned an MFA from Antioch University LA when I was 54; published #poetry, wrote two chapbooks (unpublished) and received a #Pushcart nomination. Nowadays, I blog. ✡️🏳️‍🌈

I confess I'm embarrassed to be posting this so soon after my recent good news, but I was floored to find out that Lumiere has nominated me for a Pushcart, along with a list of amazing writers. You can read them all (except mine which is coming soon) here: https://lumierereview.com/nominations

"Each year the man of the sand would rise to life. We children would go to see him and make a wish. More sweets. Better dads. If the earth beneath him growled this meant it was ready to take him home and our wish would soon come true. We had to be careful, the ground would rather eat a child than take back the man of the sand."

My short story The Man of The Sand was published earlier this year by Bear Creek Gazette. It was recently nominated for the Pushcart Prize!

A proper #introduction? Let me see.

I'm a #writer who did commentaries for the #Memphis #NPR station. I've written #essays and #short #stories, with an award-winning #audio collection narrated in my Southern voice.

I've twice been nominated for #Pushcart, one received an Honorable Mention. I blog a lot. I'm full on examining my racist heritage and where do we go from here.

I'm in #NOLA and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I still love #Memphis. I'm in love with becoming a long-distance #swimmer

Whoa! Just learned my #shortstory, The Cathedral of Desire, has been nominated for a Pushcart. Thank you, Your Impossible Voice!
