My poem "From the Backs of Birds" was chosen today to represent the MiPo poetry community at the monthly IBPC. This came as a complete surprise. I'm thrilled. More than anything though, I'm deeply honored. This group consists of exceptional poets who I not only respect but most of the time just sit in awe of.
The other poems selected to represent MiPo include the wonderful "we are the hollow men" by Lyle Daggett and "Ode to a Tearful Dishwasher" by Laurel Snyder. Congratulations!

I am a proud member of the MipoZine group of poets.
