One Minute to Midnight / David Chorlton

Here is 3rd Wednesday’s poem of the week from the Winter Issue. In his cover letter David wrote: “I’m happy to see print magazines continue in the digital age, as I prefer to hold my reading matter in my hands than to look at a screen! I write because doing so hasn’t lost its meaning to me, and because I feel I’m in good company among (most) others who write.“

All Her Jazz / D.R. James

The 2018 micro-chapbook All Her Jazz, which is free (and fun!) to download and fold at the Origami Poems Project (click on the cover):

The title poem first appeared in 3rd Wednesday’s December 2017 issue.

D. R. James has taught college writing, literature, and peace-making for 35 years and lives outside Saugatuck, Michigan.
