It came, and it’s available on Amazon! From the writers of the Carrot Ranch Literary Community & the beautiful pen & ink captures of Jerome Patryjak comes reverence (in exactly 99 words each) of the Great Lakes and surrounding lands.
This is the 3rd year of this annual art walk; artists and writers are lined up for Sept ’26. I am honored to have been involved in this project, and offer one of my responsive pieces, to share the quality & layout of the book.
And yes, my pieces are about spirits in nature. S’prise!
Here’s a list of the artists featured in this collection: Susan Budig, Colleen Chesebro, Michael B. Fishman, Liz Husebye Hartmann, D. Slayton Avery, Sue Spitulnik, Tammy L. “TOF” Gajewski, Jerome Patryjak, and head buckaroo Charli Mills. Also, much appreciation to the photographer, Ariele Pizzo, and book designer, Laura Smyth.
