Very gratified to be included in the virtual exhibit Arte Latino NOW 2022. which includes my poem in two parts--"Native."
This poem was inspired by a class I attended in the Fall, 2021 with Presidential Inaugural poet Richard Blanco, and by his new book, How to Love a Country.
Inspired by the iconic final scene in the original The Planet of the Apes film, "Nova's Voice" was published in Mom Egg Review's Mother Figures issue--just in time for Mother's Day! I sent my Mom a copy--she's 99 years young! She always encouraged me to write and kept everything I ever wrote from Kindergarten verses on.
