My first six poetry collections (so far) were all published by the small press Kelsay Books. I am very pleased with the resulting covers expertly designed by their cover designer Shay Culligan. Check out Kelsay Books for your next book. #poetrybookcovers #poetrycommunity #poetrysociety #kelsaybooks

"Remember this day forever!" posted the President on this day of infamy in 2021. So I will remember that day when he launched an attack on our democracy and unleashed all the lawlessness that followed.

Once in a while, if you are lucky, you’ll encounter a poem that will take you to an enchanted place where words can do anything and for a brief time the outside world is held in suspension. Here is the poem (and be sure to listen to the recording). www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

I think this poem from my collection "Shopping Cart Dreams" (Kelsay Books) speaks to what's happening to this country right now where democracy once bloomed. #poetrycommunity #politicalpoems #democracy #poetry

Imagine - what a magic word. A while back, I wrote short stories for children, some published in Highlights for Children and other magazines. My little book Dragon Daily News: Stories of Imagination for Children of All Ages is available on Amazon (www.amazon.com/Dragon-Daily...) Stay safe and sane!

My poem was published in Panoply Literary Magazine, their 10th year and unfortunately their last, having just announced their suspension of publication. What many people don't realize is how much a labor of love publishing a journal is. I wish the editors well and thank them for including my poem.

Gene Twaronite @genetwaronite.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

I am honored that my poem "Imaginary Garden" (part of my collection "Death at the Mall") was included in "The Growers," the Best of New Myths Anthology 5. It's also the opening poem! I am honored to be included with so many talented writers, including the late great Bruce Boston. #poetrycommunity

Here's the new sign that NH Audubon designed for "our" little sanctuary. We also have a framed full-size copy hanging in our living room. It's one of those things we're most proud of, along with being fearless, godless liberals. #newhampshire #nhaudubon #landaff #whitemountainsnh #wildlife
