Highlights High Five
Magazine that is. Highlights published my poem “Hello Hoots” in the High Five April 2018 edition. I received
a thank you and two complimentary copies in the mail. A couple of my friends even sent me a photo of their child holding up the magazineJ. It was a long journey but
I’m very happy I am finally a part of the Highlights team. I love the
illustration by Michael Slack and wrote him a little note to tell him so. Looks
like he is quite an accomplished artist!
This spring I have been busy submitting to poetry and
photography contests and to the editor of the latest edition of From the Edge of the Prairie book. I
even applied to a few artist residencies. Now that my kids are older I have the ability
to travel for workshops and photoshoots, etc. A residency would give me the
opportunity to really focus on my work in a new place for a few weeks at a time
without interruptions and distractions. Some provide travel reimbursement and a
stipend. Wouldn’t it be nice!
