HAPPY JUNE SOLSTICE!
If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, you are officially starting summer, enjoying the longest day of the year.
Whereas, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, then winter is officially beginning. This is the longest night of the year.
This is also the time when many Andean nations celebrate Inti Raymi.
AND – it is time for another quarterly round-up of my recent publications!
Yes, my poetry, travel writing and visual expressions continue to appear in journals and on websites around the world – this quarter, in the US, Croatia, Northern Ireland, Mexico / Canada, England, and the UK.
Spend this June solstice browsing through the list (with links) below, poetically journeying to Colombia, the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba … and destinations within my self / Self …
This past quarter, my poetry and narratives have also appeared in a quartet of anthologies. As well, recordings of virtual readings in which I participated are now available.
In the realm of travel narratives and articles, we’ll be tripping into the world of magic realism … and visiting a Peruvian market, riding a Mexican train, and traversing the Venezuelan plains … oh, and also taking a train in northern Honduras …
Until we next meet …..
Safe Journeys!
